WTF???

sorry, I’m not gonna call it X

I have mixed feelings about this one.

Should I call it X because all that was cool about Twitter is now dead so it would make sense to stop giving that terrible social network any credit from the former one?

Or should I continue to call it Twitter because I know it will infuriate Musk that no one recognise X as his own company?

Or should I use a totally different name that everybody will understand, like say The dead bird, and kill two birds with one stone?

Don't forget Musk roleplays as a baby with multiple sub accounts.

Dude is a creeeeeeeeeep

Why be sorry?

Call it ten

Content warning: I deliberately avoid providing much more detail than "it was clearly CSAM" but I do mention the overall tweet contents and pretext.

I remember this from when it happened and unfortunately did see the text portion and thumbnail from the original tweet.

He did it under the pretext of reporting on the arrest of a person involved in the video and large-scale CSAM production. It started as a standard news-report-style where they list the name, age and arrest details of someone taken into custody. Initially it looked like the normal alt-right tweet about "look at how paedophilia is rampant and the world is sinful!".

The guy describes himself as "chief trumpster" and a "breaker of narratives" and journalist. He claimed the details of the CSAM were provided by the Dutch police. He then described the title and detailed events of a CSAM video in the tweet. Unfortunately for me, the detailed events were below the tweet fold, so I had no idea it was going there until I expanded it.

The tweet image attachment or link unfurl thumb had a frame from the video itself. It was an otherwise-SFW image the adult abuser who was being talked about. Unfortunately I didn't realise until after I had expanded the tweet text contents what the thumbnail was. I actually thought it was an opengraph error at first.

Even in the context of "reporting shocking content" the tweet was way over the line and went from 0 to 100 in a few words. I did not need the info on the CSAM, nobody except the police and courts does. The video title alone was over the line.

Musk phrasing this as another "I was told" decision is just him knowingly deferring responsibility.

Do I want to know what CSAM stands for?

Because it was one image and it wasn't showing anything explicit. That's how I understood it from reading more about this story.

Facebook has the most csam of any website, but I hardly ever see the same fear mongering from the media. Odd.

QAnon people are posting photos of child sexual assaults “to raise awareness” because they’re too fucking stupid to realize that’s still insanely illegal and you don’t get to rob banks to raise awareness of bank robbers. (Or they’re just pedophiles trying to share images via a loophole that doesn’t exist.)

One prominent conservative guy got flagged by Twitter and had his account suspended. Elon claims only a few employees saw the image but that turned out to be a lie. It was up for 4 days and had something like 8000+ RTs and 1.3 million views. Elon basically intervened and unsuspended the guy’s account.

Also, if you’d like additional context, [insert photo of Musk with Gislaine Maxwell].

Not just just any toddler. His own kid

I had to figure out what ERP meant in this context because I was just picturing some poor kid trying to use SAP.

Almost like it's on purpose...

It doesn’t really matter, but wasn’t it a bathroom sink?

Given the other typos, this might just be another, but in case it's an error and you might want to use the phrase some other place where it matters:

It's "give it free rein" like a horse you're letting choose its own path and pace, rather than a monarch who would "reign."

You could let a bear reign over all Musk's properties with better results than he's having, but it would be a different sentence.

Both reign and rein can be nouns or verbs:

The Fed is trying to "rein in" inflation.

The "reign" of King Charles the Turd has barely begun.

(Sorry, my inner schoolmarm slipping out.)

'Pedophiles control the world' sounds just as far-fetched as 'jews control the world'.

Whats X? I only know twitter links

It comes from reddits "black people twitter" "white people twitter" and "bikini bottom twitter", on twitter people call different sub genres of twitter "x people twitter" White people twitter is just kinda bland takes

Whole thing is fake news

I can see what kind of media rings true to you. No need to bring that here. You're supporting a conspiracy nutter.

@PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works posted sources disproving your narrative. People should ctl-f / cmd-f to get those links.

Think for a second. Why would he be specifically mentioning "those photos" if it was a news article?

Look at you telling on yourself putting "it" in "air quotes" and all.
