    Might have to update my mental model. I've been framing Melon Husk's actions to Hanlon's Razor;

  7. Hate speech is free speech....but pointing out hate speech is not free speech and Elon will sue you for that.

    Elon Musk threatens to sue hate speech monitor for pointing out racists are thriving on his platform

    X CEO Elon Musk is now threatening to sue an organization that monitors internet hate speech after it released research showing that racists are thriving on his platform.

    The New York Times reports that lawyers representing X recently sent a letter to the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which published papers last month arguing that hate speech was flourishing on Musk's platform, as it took no action against the vast majority of accounts that were flagged for tweeting out hate speech.

    The lawyers accused the Center for Countering Digital Hate of making "a series of troubling and baseless claims that appear calculated to harm Twitter generally, and its digital advertising business specifically" and went on to accuse the organization of being funded by competitors "in support of an ulterior agenda."

    As The Daily Beast reported earlier this year, the organization discovered that Musk's platform refused to remove multiple pro-Nazi and violence-inciting posts from Twitter Blue subscribers even after they were flagged.

    Among other things, posts declaring that "Hitler was right" and that the LGBTQ community need to face "a firing squad" were kept up.

    Elon Musk’s extravagant ‘X’ sign atop the former Twitter HQ has been dismantled
    Neighbors immediately started complaining about a flashing and strobing X sign constructed on top of the downtown San Francisco office building.
