    This is your daily reminder that Elon Musk has done nothing to improve the child exploitation problem on Twitter. In fact he has made it worse.

    Let's hear from the vice president of NCMEC as outlined in the below article "NCMEC it is a private nonprofit but it serves as the government-appointed clearinghouse to report CSAM to law enforcement. So, companies like Meta, Google, and yes, Twitter, must report any CSAM they find to NCMEC — making the organization the best third-party measure of how often companies are reporting CSAM."

    The company’s (Twitter) recent reports to NCMEC still tell a different story than Musk is selling — that the issue isn’t fixed and some worry it will get worse.

    This is another reminder that Elon Musk is not paying his vendors, not paying the rent on his office buildings, and screwing over his employees by not paying severance. He is just another Trump -- same crooked playbook.

    There is a lengthy list of vendors Musk is screwing. Let's take a look at one more example...

  3. Heh. I made the point in the previous posts that all these alleged "private non-profits" that are trashing Elon now are primarily funded by the federal government and by extension the dems/Biden administration so are taking their cues to pile onto Elon per the script.

    Now you come along like a good little dem lackey and refer to the alleged "private non-profit" NCMEC- whose primary source of funding is the Justice Department.

    The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was founded in 1984. I suppose when the DOJ of the Trump administration, the Obama administration, the G.W. Bush administration, the Clinton administration, the first Bush administration, and the Reagan administration funded NCMEC --- it was just an extension of the Democrats and Biden. What a sad assertion for anyone to make attacking an organization which has done a lot of good for society. I can only assume anyone pushing this type of absurd assertion supports the exploitation of children.

    The bottom line is that every major organization of the face of the globe which monitors child exploitation material on Twitter has outlined the situation has not improved under Elon Musk -- despite his claims. He actuality -- as outlined in multiple studies -- has made the problem much worse.

  5. Not at all. You do not understand how the government grant and/or K-street/Beltway mentality and game works.

    You play the game with whatever administration is in power or with those who have power in your funding area. Sometimes it is congress rather the President.

    Right now, Biden has presidential power and dems have legislative power. And the Biden/dems have given the message that Elon is on the outs. As discussed many times, you and your ilk were fine with Twitter and also with Elon- until Elon went republican and now is exposing dem dirt and DOJ/fBI collusion with Twitter.

    Let's see now. Elon is vigorously exposing that Twitter was colluding with and taking orders from the FBI/DOJ in regard to suppressing conservatives. Meanwhile, the DOJ is the primary funding source for the NCMEC. Yeh, no bias there by the NCMEC.

    We need to be doing a full review of NCMEC as we go forward . They have been very careful to protect the various lefty social media/silicon valley types who have allowed the proliferation of child porn and trafficking on their sites for years. But somehow are able to pile on Elon during his rough transition because Elon is exposing dem/FBI secrets.

    So far --- all we have seen in the release of the "Twitter Files" is a big nothing-burger. The only thing we see is the FBI and law enforcement doing what they are supposed to be doing. And the reality that content moderation is messy and involves internal debate at social media companies. Not surprising to rational people. Even many right-wing commentators are calling the "Twitter Files" meaningless while others attempt to harp on them as talking points against the Democrats trying to claim some type of conspiracy to silence people for speech rather than for pushing dangerous misinformation which violated the Twitter terms of service.

  8. The House Committee will examine all that.

    If that works for the FBI and the dems, then all is well.

    OR NOT.

    If Musk really wants to show what occurred in Twitter then he would release all the information "Wiki Leaks" style rather than selectively releasing information to target his "enemies". Even Jack Dorsey urged Musk to publicly release all the documents --- which Dorsey claims will show Twitter operated perfectly correctly. Instead Musk is just releasing snippets of information to create an illusion.

  10. Nope.

    The real story is that the Biden Administration - including such people as Biden, the PressTart, and Merrick Garland- a whole team of democrats started in on this very public narrative that Elon needed to be watched and monitored and that they would take action as needed.

    Elon merely counterpunched by revealing communications that indicate that it might be the government and the dems colluding with Twitter that need to be watched and monitored.

    As discussed before, from your soy-centric viewpoint you are not able to understand how alpha males fight back. Most of your posts- whether about Elon or DeSantis, etc- reveal you self-stimulating over the thought that some alpha male has taken a hit so therefore they are dead in the water and can never get up or counterpunch.

    Nope. Biden gonna "monitor and watch" Elon?. Okay. And Elon set some things in motion that will have the entire House and public focused on what the government is doing at Twitter (and Facebook).
