    Democrats Vow To Find New Social Platform That Will Censor The News About What They Did On Twitter

    [​IMG]

    U.S. — Democrats have dedicated themselves to finding a new social media platform that will agree to censor damaging stories coming about how they used other social media platforms to censor damaging stories.

    "We really can't let news about us censoring citizens get out there uncensored," said Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer. "The blowback would be severe and would require escalating to Defcon 3 censorship. I'm told that's pretty bad."

    After documents from inside Twitter revealed censorship of private citizens at the direction of politicians, Democrats have responded by calling for social media to censor even harder. "It's pretty clear at this point that the First Amendment was a terrible idea," said Senator Elizabeth Warren. "If you let average citizens speak, why they might embarrass me repeatedly by attaching fact-checks to all of my wildly erroneous statements on Twitter. It's getting super annoying."

    I don't think anyone was saying that the Dems were aiding pedos" as much as folks were saying that Musk is cleaning up that area of twitter. Something both people on the right AND left should like.

    But instead, no praise for this from the left.

    I don't really care about Musk I do care about Twitter undermining democracy and promoting hate & violence in our communities -- a growing problem under Musk. Coupled with the significant increase in child exploitation material since Musk purchased the platform as an additional problem.

    Musk's approach of using automation based on CSAM hashtags and automatic picture identification to ban accounts on Twitter for child sexual exploitation is not doing well. The purveyors of this material have quickly moved onto new hashtags. The picture detection appears to be banning the accounts of parents posting normal & appropriate pictures of their children -- and the user quickly finds there is no human in Twitter to appeal their account suspension to under Musk.

    You can see how poorly Musk's automatic picture identification is doing recently -- based on all the photos which Twitter lists as "sensitive", etc. and requires the user to click a button to show it. After which the photo does not show anything in the automated claim about it.

    To be fair, Musk inherited an existing child exploitation material problem when he purchased Twitter -- and the Twitter team was barely keeping up before -- unfortunately Musk's first step was to fire most of the people who specialized in cleaning CSAM (child sexual abuse material) content off of Twitter.

    As noted by many independent monitors and media outlets -- the child exploitation material on Twitter has increased greatly under Musk. He is not doing an effective job at eliminating it.

    His efforts during the past weekend managed to effectively fail to target currently active accounts posting this material -- and instead targeted inactive accounts using old CSAM hashtags (which is fine but does not fix the current issues) and also misidentified pictures in normal appropriate accounts. The claimed banning of over 44,000 CSAM accounts over the weekend is nearly meaningless -- due to the poor & misguided targeting.

  6. Yeh, right. Bullshit.

    You have cardboard cut-outs of DeSanti, Matt Gaetz, and Musk in your bedroom.

    You belong to the Party of Perverts and your "minor attracted persons."

    Take Musk out of equation and you could care less. Just as with Facebook.

    China has a wire up your arse when you use Tik Tok but that's fine. Won't hear a peep from you. But you are on top of Elon and China.

    So you simply are hurling insults. You have nothing to say about Musk greatly increasing the child exploitation material on Twitter. This is perfectly fine with you. Along with letting thousands of banned posters back on who immediately started posting hate to drive violence in our communities.

    Not a peep about all this from you. Keep sticking with your twisted narrative.

    BTW -- I have only ever been a registered member of one political party -- the Republicans. I have never been a registered Democrat. Sadly when the Republican party in our state drifted away from reality I switch my registration to unaffiliated.

  9. Musk is not deliberately enabling more child porn, if there is more.

    It is a side effect of chaos going with the transition of buying the company.

    The previous regime had a major problem ignoring child porn which it refused to fix, refer to the multitude of lawsuits Elon inherited as a result.

    Extend the trajectory Elon's addressing the issue out over a short period of time and the improvements will easily exceed the pervert paradise that existed before and over at Facebook. A lot of those people he moved out or quit themselves belong to that "genre" that enabled it. And yes there are pervies exploiting Twitter's vulnerability during the transition chaos, but as I said, it does not come from Elon's complacency. I give Elon an 80% chance of improving the kiddie porn and trafficking problem over time. I give the last regime 5% chance if they stayed in charge, and that 5% would only come from their being under court order from all the lawsuits.

    Since when did the members of your party ever concede that any person or thing is not a suitable sex object? They are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Bunch of child groomers. Drag queen down at the library in their underwear reading to kids - perverts grooming kids.

    And you defend every thing they/your party have ever done anywhere, anytime here so don't give me that crapola about how you are innocent because you never registered as a democrat. You are a card carrying lefty with your head up Biden's butt and anyone who is a leftie. Take some responsibility.
