Elon’s pro hate-speech platform?
I love free speech so much I’ll sue anyone who badmouths me!
Wouldn’t criticising Twitter’s inefficient moderation be covered by “free speech”? It’s censorship under the guise of preservation.
“Free expression is most important!!! (…except when you criticize us!)”
Even censorship is a form of free speech.
Example: I used to be homeless in Los Angeles. During that time, an Occupy Wall Street protester wrote on the ground in chalk “fuck the police”.
A passerby was upset at this, and they poured water over the “fuck”, erasing it.
Both the protestor and the passerby had expressed themselves in their own way.
This dude went to so much trouble just to tweet as X.
They aren’t tweets anymore. They are Xcrements.
From this dude they always were.
MDMA should send a cease & desist letter.
At X we love Hate Speech. Also we consider the word “cisgender” hate speech, but in a bad way
Elon found the good hate speech! He IS a genius. 🤣
First time I’ve heard of the Center for Countering Digital Hate. Thanks Elon. I wish I believed that he wanted to support free speech on XTwitter. But I don’t. I think he just silenced CCDH for saying mean things against his thingie.
First off, California has anti slapp laws, secondly, if they get to it discovery is going to be HILARIOUS.
I’m betting that the clown prince has no idea what discovery means in that sense or he’d be running in the opposite direction.CCDH is well aware and put out a press release saying that they really look forward to discovery.
I imagine this is all just a bunch of bullshit to distract common folk. It’s the #1 tactic billionaires and the wealthy love to pull.
In short, this is likely just propaganda. The lawsuit may not have any bearing or legitimacy whatsoever.
Space Karen could have paid the $1B penalty for backing out the Twitter deal but didn’t and now he’s tanked the company to the point it’s worth far less than what he paid. Far more than $1B. What an absolute fucking idiot he is.
The real idiots are the ones lambasting the platform and its owner while simultaneously continuing to give the site traffic.
Ahh what a man for free expression. There has never been a time where he has broke that /s
-they said, from an account they “reclaimed” from a user with little warning and no compensation. So supportive of their users!
Despite who’s continued progress of safety? You fired your safety team!
I’m really happy that everyone just preemptively rejected hate speech here on Lemmy.

Only if you ignore exploding heads…
Twitter sided with the Turkish government and censored the accounts of political opponents ahead of a contentious election.
Twitter accused of censorship in India as it blocks Modi critics. Canadian politician, poet, an India MP and journalists are among 120 accounts that have been withheld
Very consistent with his claims /s
Lmao! Crimethinc and It’s Going Down are still banned. The only free speech allowed on that fascist’s website is literal Nazi speech.
Where’s this “half a billion” number coming from?
Probably total number of registered accounts ever. Including bots and all the people Musk banned.
Google search “Twitter Hate Speech”. Everyone and their mom has been reporting on the increase in hate speech at Twitter since Musk took over. Of course, he waits to sue until a small non-profit comes along, albeit one with a stellar reputation, whose resources he can exhaust in courts, which will count as a “win” in the eyes of his worshipers.
I can see it now, “Musk defeats liberal beta SJW cucks, a decisive blow for free speech.”
There’s no way the EFF wouldn’t step in and help with legal bills if they needed to.
Oh wow, I bet Musky doesn’t even see the OPEN contradiction taking place in this single, succinct statement. What a fucking moron…
Free speech is a dog whistle for hate speech. Now there’s no contradiction if you read it like that.
