Greta Thunberg should win woman of the year, she's incredible. Sacrificing going to school to heal the planet singlehandedly was the most selfless act I've ever seen. Her childhood was robbed from her, forcibly ripped from her little white hands, making her mature into one of the most intelligent people on this planet long before she should have had to.Wonderful human being.
Not to even mention she nonchalantly destroyed that Andrew Tate douche. 😂

A white supremacist, Christian nationalist is reinstated on Twitter, journalists were banned and you think this is a win for free speech?You might as well burn some books and put some more minor drug offenders in prison and say Freedom Wins.
Fuentes is not entitled to a platform that will help him reach millions of people and undoubtedly result in violence and discrimination against non-white people.
Holocaust denier Fuentes reinstated to Twitter, then banned again within 24 hours
White supremacist who met with Donald Trump last year posts tweets about the US ‘Zionist Occupied Government,’ praises Hitler during brief return to platform -Time of Israel
😆
Rightist need better heroes than Nick Fuentes. Just saying.

and is currently looking into if the bans were appropriate or if the were unjustly targeted and should be reinstated.
Child Porn Persists on Twitter
Over 120,000 views of a video showing a boy being sexually assaulted. A recommendation engine suggesting that a user follow content related to exploited children. Users continually posting abusive material, delays in taking it down when it is detected, and friction with organizations that police it. All since Elon Musk declared that "removing child exploitation is priority #1" in a Tweet in late November.
After Musk took the reins in late October, Twitter largely eliminated staff experienced with the problem and failed to prevent the spread of abusive images previously identified by the authorities. Twitter also stopped paying for detection software considered key to its efforts. All the while, people on dark-web forums discuss how Twitter remains a platform where they can easily find the material while avoiding detection.
While Twitter has removed many accounts and hashtags sharing child abuse content, the response time to remove accounts and Tweets that have been reported for sharing child absue content has doubled.
So call law enforcement. Obviously Twitter should act against illegal content, but they can't prevent bad actors without infringing on free expression. Social media should not be responsible for what someone does on their platform, they can't control people 24/7.
Twitter is the town square, what anyone does is between them and whatever laws exist, and no policies should come at the expense of the law abiding.

One could almost say Mr musk is aiding and abetting child exploitation. A child exploiter, if you will. Free speech and child exploitation, a hard hitting combo from Mr. Child Exploiter himself.
By that logic the United States government is aiding and abetting because it exists.
Musk isn't Superman, he can't stop crimes before they happen.
That wasn't a flippant response either. Honest question:I love how old people like to blame people from the 90s or maybe even the 80s instead of fixing problems. Like who cares? That's ancient history, only old people even remember those things. Why do old people do that? Who cares who invented it, we need to deal with it now.
😱 The guy everyone from Simpsons to South Park poked fun at, who environmentalists pushed to the moon, and who was part of one of the lynchpin elections of the next millennium. Yes, I'm sure he's lost to history along with Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagon, Albert Einstein..
And some guy elected in 2008, so long ago. 😚

What you don't understand is, he absolutely is. I grew up in the 80/90s.
The cold war and the Vietnam war were ancient history to me. I do remember al gore, but just as a childhood villain (my parents were very conservative). Ask any gen Z coworker today what they know about 9/11, and the answer will be almost nothing. If you are reading about it in the history books at school, it feels like the revolutionary war.
Al Gore doesn't matter at all to anyone now, he certainly isn't someone you can try to deflect blame to when discussing a problem today.
Originally posted by truejediyou make a compelling point, I'm 56, everything before me feels like ancient history, yet ww2 had only been over 21 and a half years when I was born. Not much more than a third of my present life and about the sametime 9/11 is from today, which seems like yesterday. I understand why my parents talked about it so vividly my dad was 17 when it finished. What comes before us, really does seem another life, because it was. Maybe that's why we are fated as a species to learn little from history and repeat the same mistakes.
