      Hey, at least you don’t have to post a picture of your skin color to post here, like on reddit’s BlackPeopleTwitter.

      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

          If you search “elon musk roleplay son” you can find several screenshots and news sites reporting on it.

          Here’s one

    At this point they could have but a giant brown bear in charge of twitter. Gave it free reigns to eat whoever it likes and twitter would still be more successful and have a less damaged brand. Like is Elon actively trying to run it into the ground?

      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.)

      Yes, that’s exactly what he’s trying to do. The sooner he runs it into the ground, the less money he’s going to lose.

      I don’t think he is. See, he’s lived his entire life in a world without consequences, and he’s never actually been a good businessman, and certainly never invented anything. But he’s built his own little brand around pretending he’s both and not a con man who was scamming carbon credits to boost the stock price of his flagship company.

      At some point, he started to believe his own branding. After all, he must be a good businessman if he’s the richest man in the world, right?

      As a note, Bernie Madoff had a net worth of almost $70 Billion at his peak. He was one of the richest men in the world.

    May be it is his sources. He can’t reject that. Or may be they have threatened to leak about him.

    Because Elon musk (as well as everyone in positions of power) are all pedos. Every single one of them. These are the fuckwads that hang out of Epsteins island.

    It’s also why nothing is being done about it because everyone that’s in a position to do anything about it is also a pedo and they don’t want to disrupt their pedo experiences.

    That’s all the uber wealthy are into. They use their power and influence to get away with it my corrupting everyone around them.

        There is no mistake. Elon is a pedophile. In other words he has sex with children. Is that clear enough for you?

        • @[email protected]
          8•2 years ago
          1. do you have proof that he rapes children (“has sex with children” is not a thing btw. That’s called rape).
          2. child sexual abuser is not the same thing as pedophile. The vast majority of people that sexually abuse children are not attracted to prepubescent children (literally the requirement for someone being a pedophile), and therefore do not fit the criteria of being a pedophile.

            Did you wake up today, and think, “Hey, these pedophiles are unfairly getting mislabeled. I’m going to go defend their preferred nomenclature on the internet today?”

              I literally volunteer for a child sex abuse prevention organization. And yes, if we truly care about preventing child sex abuse then we need to acknowledge that there is a difference between pedophiles (people attracted to prepubescent children) and child sex abusers (people who sexually abuse children) (spoiler: most people that sexually abuse children, are not attracted to prepubescent children, and therefore do not fit the criteria of being pedophiles)

                Fucking someone under the age of 18 makes you a pedophile. End of story. You’re arguing semantics like fucking a 17 year old isn’t that bad, or at least that’s how you come off. I appreciate your work but that’s just not a distinction anyone cares to make. A pedo is a pedo.

                • @[email protected]English
                  2•2 years ago

                  it literally doesn’t. Someone is only a pedophile if they have a persistent sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children. Someone is a child sex abuser if they rape someone under the age of 18.

                  You’re right. That isn’t “a distincting anyone cares to make” because sadly most people think that their feelings are more important than actually preventing sexual abuse. Disappointing, obviously, but it is what it is I guess.

    While the media posted by the influencer has been removed, numerous text interactions with the deleted posts from his followers are still on the platform. Some of those posts mention a child depicted in the photos as young as one and a half years old.

    Source

    To make matters worse, the image appears to have been on the platform for several days before being removed. Lucre even described the image in detail in a separate tweet, noting that it had been taken from a video. The video in question involved the abuse of three children, one of whom was reportedly strangled to death after the filming.

    Source

    The CSAM material was left up for FOUR DAYS (July 22-26) before he was even suspended. Then they let him “delete” it…and reinstated him. People commented during those 4 days DESCRIBING THE IMAGES.

    What the FUCK please tell me this is worth a visit from the FBI, getting removed from the App Store, some massive GDPR violation, fucking something. How is this story not bigger news?

    To put this in perspective, 4 graphic CSAM images that an account with 500,000 followers posted were left up on Twitter for 4 days. The person who posted the images was suspended for less than a day.

      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.

          Thanks, it was partly my fault for taking a curiosity tour of Twitter to see whether there was a noticeable right-wing shift from a few months earlier.

          Hopefully I can at least prevent someone from having to go try to find the context for themselves and finding the full tweet, because it was awful even as text.

          I assumed there would be “they took it out of context!” apologia when it was inevitably reported on, but the actual context didn’t improve anything or abdicate anyone from responsibility.

          My heart goes out to the human moderators at twitter who had to see more of it and didn’t have the choice to bail before learning more. And obviously also to the victims of one of the most heinous acts I’ve ever heard about.

          For what it’s worth, I had no idea if it was the absolute worst journalistic judgement I have ever seen, or a way for him to find more CSAM, or some bizarre combo. That is something for the FBI to find out. But I do know the decision to unban him is beyond wild, even for someone trying to bankrupt a social media company. Text almost never makes me physically recoil.

          • @[email protected]
            1•2 years ago

            Yeah, even if we give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a bad attempt at journalism, there’s no reason to defend them. Also bizarre that Elon would even get involved in it.

          Correction: child sexual abuse material. Basically it’s better than the term “child porn” because it’s not literally not porn. Porn is literally created by consenting adults

            • @[email protected]
              1•2 years ago

              the screenshot says ‘child porn’. You said the A stands for “assault” when it actually stands for “abuse”.

                You spent half your response “correcting” me for use of the the term porn, which I did not use. Respond to the OP for that. That’s all I’m saying.

          • KairuByte
            35•2 years ago

            Unfortunately, it’s a term everyone should know. It “replaces” the label child porn, because while it’s universally known as horrible, it’s not “porn.” It’s evidence of child sexual abuse. Hence “child sexual abuse material.”

    I think any smart run company left Twitter the moment Elon took over (in his own eclectic way carrying a kitchen sink).

    https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/17/tesla-elon-musk-thailand-diver-pedo

    Just one, one drop in a sea of lunacy and megalomania. But that’s Elon. Now if this guy took over a company that directly impacted your profits, what would you do?

    The real sad thing is that even if he is the Yahoo to Tumblr, it won’t impact him one iota. He’ll still be rich as all creation and people will still fawn over him and listen to what he has to say.

    • kn0wmad1c

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

        • hypelightfly
          12•2 years ago

          then there was the CSAM photos, not cp

          Those are the same thing. Child sexual abuse material is just a newer/better term for child porn as calling it porn is problematic.

          You aren’t adding any context, you’re (hopefully unintentionally) defending cp.

            • hypelightfly
              4•2 years ago

              Murder and homocide are not the same thing where the terminology was changed from one to the other. Murder is only one type of homicide, there are others. CSAM is CP, literally the same thing.

              Pretending they aren’t and continuing to argue about it is defending it. Feel free to stop any time.

      • Kalkaline

        Even if it was a news article, any half brained editor is going to know you don’t post CP because it’s illegal and you get the FBI breaking down your door and throwing you in a federal prison.
