Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, granted subscription perks to designated terrorist groups and others barred from operating in the US, according to campaigners.

Cancel this idiot’s government contracts and prosecute him.
Nationalize Starlink while you’re at it.
Nationalize all of his assets and deport his ass back to South Africa
Best idea ive heard all year
Can you deport citizens?
According to the leader of the conservatives, you can.
Hang on, we’re getting our ideas from that asshole now?
It’s called “a taste of their own medicine”
Starlink is not feeseable long term, let Musk keep that POS
I’m not so sure. It solves a lot of issues, though they don’t effect the vast majority of us. It’d be great as a nationally operated utility for military purposes to more easily provide internet access and communication to navy vassels as well as operations near the poles. It’s also useful for very remote areas or mobile living. As a company operated for profit, sure I doubt it’ll survive if militaries don’t trust it, which I wouldn’t. As a utility operated for the sake of the utility it provides, it’s useful.
What? That only happens to the poors…
Twitter is burning money and struggling with getting advertisers, and “subscribers” are barely keeping them afloat. Of course they need to accept money where ever it comes from. Why is this a surprise?
Unfortunately, whether your business is failing or not, it still has to follow applicable laws.
That’s how a subscription works, people pay money for benefits. Not surprised that X isn’t looking into paying accounts since they are short staffed (AFAIK) and low on money. No surprise at all, clickbait title here.
Just because they might not have the capabilities to due this sort of dilligence, doesnt mean it wouldnt be news.
If they do business with entities that are under US sanctions, they are breaking the law and need to face consequences.
That they self inflicted their inability to abide by the law does not excuse it. Instead it makes it worse.
Blue checks can also receive payment based on engagement from other blue checks, though. Doesn’t seem to be implied in the article that this happened, but it’s a consideration.
Taking money from Israel, i see? /S
Why the /s?
So they aren’t a terrorist government? Because they do seem to like to terrorise innocent civilians
They are not terrorists, just utter garbage and waste of organic matter. We should recycle them in factories or something before they start bombing other countries in the name of their delusions. 🧐🧐🧐 /S
Well, as long as they’re taking money away from the terrorists. /s
I never even think about taking money from terrorists as a problem. Guess most social media organizations aren’t so hard up for cash or short staffed.
And if I understood correctly, they only take away the blue checkmark, and don’t close the accounts?
Lemmy isn’t much better.
The .ml admins are problematic afaik
Move then?

The problem is you can’t have a differing opinion without runn8ng headlong into a mod.
