Even Dempsey called Musks Tweet a lie About allowing porn. Which caused

a former top Twitter official fled his home amid attacks following Musk tweets..

He just did this. Twitter dissolves Trust and Safety Council
Meanwhile,

Musk is the biggest Troll on the planet . Iam guessing that’s why the right wing embrace him without hesitation..

Keep thinking he’s about freedom of speech

"twitter’s always gone after your kiddie porn"

I never came close to saying that Twitter never went after porn. I said Musk is doing more. I posted a link to support that claim. If you have data to the contrary, for the third time, let's see it.

"Him taking over didn’t start it."

I never said it did, never implied it did, never came close to saying that.

Here's an exact quote of mine yesterday...

"it appears he's taking steps to do more to combat child porn on Twitter than was previously done. "

What grade did you drop out of school in, to read that, and conclude that I said that Twitter did nothing until Musk took over? Seriously, how could you ever infer that from what I said? Do you not know how to read?

Tell us more, please about how Al Sharpton isn't a racist...

Where’s your proof of the steps Musk took to reduce “child porn” on Twitter.
Were the thousands of former employees generating it?
What policy or procedure has he instituted that will reduce “child porn”?
Who was and who is now responsible for the content of Twitter?
Dave Chapelle?

Watching billionaires behaving foolishly or destructively is a reminder to those of us who are pro-free market that capitalism deserves only two cheers, that it requires democratic regulation--and that there's a reason many decent and thoughtful people have been social democrats.

Sums you up pretty good. A whole lifetime of stupidity, ignoring empirical results, and a willful denial of common sense, a lifetime of that, boiled down to one paragraph, that's perfect in its economic illiteracy and dishonesty.

policy position that you disagree with

You can’t. Not a one. neither can wayne, pete, or GS.

Who is duped, exactly? The one who praises and criticizes both sides? or the one who thinks his side is right and the other side is wrong, literally 100% of the time? who been duped?

I’ll wait. Take your time.

Ignore/dodge. Insult. Repeat…

Even as Elon Musk has said that removing child sexual exploitation content from Twitter was "Priority #1," the teams charged with monitoring for, and subsequently removing such content have been reduced considerably since the tech entrepreneur took control of the social media platform. Bloomberg reported last month that there are now fewer than 10 people whose job it is to track such content – down from 20 at the start of the year.

Even more worrisome is that the Asia-Pacific division has just one full-time employee who is responsible for removing child sexual abuse material from Twitter.

Jim’s favorite greatest hit is of course this one. Jim is the only one who fairly and honestly reviews both sides of the political divide. There are of course many greatest hits, but this one is THE greatest and it always, like all of Jim’s posts ends with his classic closer,,,,,,,I’ll wait

Empirical results more of your baloney

In my lifetime, we have destroyed the middle-class standing for tens of millions of Americans and replaced it with 700 billionaires.

Capitalism was not supposed to create billionaires, because the "invisible hand" was supposed to keep the playing field level. Capitalism fails when capital gains control of the government and uses it to its own advantage. That's not the invisible hand. It's visible.

So again….

so there’s no such thing as improving a team, by replacing existing employees. gotcha. you know that the ten let go were valuable. Impressive

if i’m wrong, then tell me some big issues on which you think liberals are wrong. Should be simple.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday that he is forming a new state committee to counter policy recommendations from federal health agencies

At a news conference in South Florida, DeSantis also said he is requesting a statewide grand jury investigation into alleged “crimes and wrongdoing” related to the coronavirus vaccine.

Wow now Ron’s Smarter than then the CDC

One minute he’s for Covid vaccines now he’s against because he’s looking for the Maga Q primary voter

DeSantis made the announcements during a roundtable discussion featuring coronavirus vaccine skeptics. Who had signed the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement released in 2020 that advocated against covid restrictions and in support of herd immunity.

Funny thing is it’s not a scientific paper. They provided ZERO data

He’s playing the Trumps gullible base like a fiddle .. and Trump showed him the way.

But Ron’s dangerous he’ll play a moderate if he gets by the primary’s. But he’s not one

I thought it was impressive to show you were wrong. Where did the article say they were "replaced"?

The way you talk to people shows what a #^&#^&#^&#^& you are.

I love how spence points out how you were wrong but won't explain to you (even though it is obvious) and you get your panties all in a bunch. He just leaves you stewing.

Youre 100% right, it didn't say they were replaced. So let's assume they weren't. Are you telling us that you've never once heard of employees being let go with no decrease in aggregate output? Never?

The former CEO is admitting the censorship became waayy to political. He is openly saying that now.

If letting those people go opens the floodgates for porn, we'll know soon enough. You're assuming that will happen, because Musk is a centrist, not a progressive liberal.

Maybe those let go spent all day looking for harmless conservatives to ban.

I could care less if Twitter is biased. It's a private company, so if Foxnews can be biased, so can Twitter. The involvement of the Justice Dept is scary though.

"I love how spence points out how you were wrong but won't explain to you"

Saying "you've been duped" isn't really pointing out anything.

I posted one of many articles out there stating that Twitter has shut down some 44,000 accounts related to kiddie porn, since Musk took over. Why you guys are threatened by that, I have absolutely no idea. If it's not true, and maybe it's not, all you have to do is post something that demonstrates that it's not true.

Mark Zuckerberg says the FBI warned them about impending Russian disinformation regarding Hunter. AT that time, the FBI had the laptop. They therefore had absolutely zero reason to believe it was a Russian disinformation hoax.

You posted a link to an article which refuted the point you were trying to make.

Musk bans Twitter account tracking his jet, threatens to sue creator

so much for free speech

Why has Musk only released His Twitter file to 3 reports with restrictions?
Musk has given exclusive access to a small group of independent journalists including Matt Taibbi, formerly of Rolling Stone, and Bari Weiss, a former New York Times opinion columnist, under the condition they first post about the documents on Twitter.

The selection of Taibbi and Weiss, who both share Musk's criticisms of the mainstream media and what they see as progressive censoriousness


Funny conservatives totally ignored this tweet


Matt Taibbi
@mtaibbi
22. Although several sources recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem...


I am sure it will be excused away by the usual suspects

interesting article how Russian news mined right-wing American news and Chinese media to craft a narrative that Moscow was winning. Murdoch must be proud. C&P various paragraphs.

Spinning together a counternarrative for tens of millions of viewers, Russian propagandists plucked clips from American cable news, right-wing social media and Chinese officials. They latched onto claims that Western embargoes of Russian oil would be self-defeating, that the United States was hiding secret bioweapon research labs in Ukraine and that China was a loyal ally against a fragmenting West.

Day by day, state media journalists sharpened those themes in emails. They sometimes broadcast battlefield videos and other information sent to them by the successor agency to the K.G.B. And they excerpted and translated footage from favorite pundits, like the Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose remarks about the war were shown to millions of Russians.

“Be sure to take Tucker,” one Russian news producer wrote to a colleague. The email referred to a clip in which Mr. Carlson described the power of the Chinese-Russian partnership that had emerged under Mr. Biden — and how American economic policies targeting Russia could undermine the dollar’s status as a world-reserve currency.

The correspondence was one of thousands of email exchanges stored within a leaked database from Russia’s largest state-owned media company, the All-Russia State Television and Radio Company, known as V.G.T.R.K. The data was made publicly available online by DDoSecrets, a group that publishes hacked documents.

The New York Times created a search tool to identify material from the 750 gigabytes of files related to the buildup to the war and its earliest stages from January to March 2022, when the available documents ended. The Times verified the documents by confirming email addresses and people’s identities. In many instances, matters discussed in the emails led to content broadcast on the air.

The emails provide a rare glimpse into a propaganda machine that is perhaps Russia’s greatest wartime success. Even as the country faces battlefield losses, mounting casualties, economic isolation and international condemnation, state-run television channels have spun a version of the war in which Russia is winning, Ukraine is in shambles and Western alliances are fraying. Along with a fierce crackdown on dissent, the propaganda apparatus has helped President Vladimir V. Putin maintain domestic support for a war that many in the West had hoped would weaken his hold on power the longer it dragged on.

To create this narrative, producers at the state media company cherry-picked from conservative Western media outlets like Fox News and the Daily Caller, as well as obscure social media accounts on Telegram and YouTube, according to the records. Russian security agencies like the Federal Security Service, or F.S.B., the successor to the K.G.B., fed other information, creating an alternative version of events such as the bombing of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.

As the war dragged on, producers sought clips about the fallout in the United States. One came from a local news program in northern Alabama about stickers being placed on gas pumps that showed Mr. Biden saying, “I did that.” Another video, showing a U.S. grocery store emptied of food, came from a viral Telegram post. It seemed to inspire a broadcast soon after titled, “Oil shock and empty shelves: Trump’s grim prophecy is coming true.”

V.G.T.R.K. used Chinese officials and state media to build support for a conspiracy theory that the United States maintained secret labs to build biological weapons in Ukraine. In March, producers broke down footage from Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying the U.S. research was “aimed at creating a mechanism for the covert spread of deadly pathogens.”

To add an American voice to the biolab claims, producers discussed and then aired remarks by Roger Stone, a former Trump adviser, from the far-right television channel Real America’s Voice.

Fox News and other conservative outlets were fixtures of internal news roundups, scripts and broadcasts. Producers circulated a clip of a Fox News commentator discussing Russia’s “sanction-proof” economy and a Breitbart article about the effect on oil prices.

Mr. Carlson’s broadcasts were passed around V.G.T.R.K., according to emails.

Fox news headline.

"Paul Pelosi attack suspect David DePape allegedly cited 'evil in Washington,' hammer displayed to judge"

How long before Russian media shows that?

Twitter abruptly suspends more than half a dozen journalists
No reason for the suspensions was given, though many had written or tweeted about the dramas surrounding billionaire Elon Musk’s takeover of the social media platform

Twitter suspended the accounts of more than half a dozen journalists from CNN, the New York Times, The Washington Post and other outlets Thursday evening.

Keep thinking he’s a free speech advocate lol
