Twits Own Twitter 0

Legal-oriented subreddit Xes out links to Twitter. Here’s the gist; more at the link.

Elon Musk has decided to reenable accounts suspended for posting CSAM (Child Sex Abuse Material–ed,) while at the same time allowing the most basic of CSAM scanning systems to break. And, that’s not even looking at how most of the team who was in charge of fighting CSAM on the site were either laid off or left.

r/law, a popular subreddit about the law announced last week that it was completely banning links to Twitter for this reason.

In related news, Paul Krugman asks, “What’s in a name?” A snippet:

He (Elon Musk–ed.) clearly suffers from a severe case of Tech Bro Syndrome, that weird combination of hubris and conspiracy theorizing so prevalent in his social set. He accused Twitter of censoring conservatives, ignoring the reality that in a MAGA-ridden nation any attempt to limit the spread of dangerous misinformation will hit the right harder than the left. He purchased Twitter in the belief that his personal brilliance could easily make the company profitable, no need for hard thinking about business strategy.

And he’s been flailing wildly ever since.

Apparently, Elon Musk is upset at the fee hand of the market.

The Crypto Con and the Candidate 0

The Majority report crew discuss RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Bitcoin. In the process, they dig into the con behind the crypto.

A Quibble:

I understand why Emma fell into the trap of referring to traditional money as “fiat currency,” but, honest to Pete, no currency is more fiat than crypto.

It is backed by no one and nothing and survives only because persons believe in it.
