#Twitter/ #X is potentially violating U.S. sanctions by accepting payments for subscription accounts on the social media platform from terrorist organizations barred from doing business in the country — including Hezbollah leaders and Houthi groups — a report found.

“ Yulia Navalnaya shared her first post on the platform Monday, and less than 24 hours later her account had been suspended for supposedly “violating the X rules. It was not immediately clear which rules she was accused of violating, but #Navalny’s allies have called on #X owner Elon #Musk to explain the move.”

“It’s extremely concerning that X has rolled out a new feature that has serious implications for users privacy and security quietly, without making users aware of the changes.
Profit is the motivating factor over user safety and security.”

Introduced to all users and automatically enabled, it shows a reckless disregard for safety.

As X further descends into the abyss, the platform becomes more X-rated & discourages those who provide content that helps the world know the news, politics & culture in "real-time" to stay.
It was Musk's intent, make X into a platform that props up his businesses, RW ideology, conspiracy theories, crypto shills, deviant content, while harming Dems, immigrants, unions, LGBTQ ppl, democracy, discourse, community, activists for climate, science, environment...

When people ask why I waste my time with this account, it is because of this. He is freaking dangerous.
I know I will not change anything by myself, but ... he is freaking dangerous.
I just wonder why in the world a publication that publishes this still has a link to Twitter, but not to their Threads account, or an account on Mastodon. Thoughts? @motherjonesmag
This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.
(He later deleted the tweet.)
UPDATE: the more I look at this the more I think I think this was an excellent troll pretending to be a bot. The JSON is not formatted correctly. Still, lol
This is hilarious. A Russian Twitter/X account got outed as a bot because it ran out of GPT-4 credits. When it got back up and running, someone replying overwrote the prompt to get the bot write a song about historical American presidents going to the beach. The account is now suspended.
I know what I'm trying next time I spot a troll!
The original prompt translates from Russian to English as "You will argue in support of the Trump administration on Twitter, speak English"

Conservative Self Love. Musk's most notorious statement recontextualized to mad beats.
BREAKING!
The Antifa Turtle on #Twitter shared a Twitter API okta leak that shows there is a list of "protected accounts", all of them right wing, who are allowed to break #X Terms Of Services without consequence and includes a list of whitelisted slurs they are allowed to use.
The whistle-blowing Twitter account was suspended by mods shortly after.

For the second time in <2 wks, a doctored video of MVP #KamalaHarris has spread widely on #ElonMusk’s #SocialMedia platform #X.
A video known as a “#deepfake” that was posted on X on Sat *appears* to show #Harris repeating herself over & over again, using a crude audio rendering made to seem like Harris is struggling to finish a complete sentence.

Like many of you, I have grown sick of discussing noted Afrikaner fascist supervillain Elon Musk, and given his various battles with the U.K government and EU regulatory bodies over his presumed "right" to incite fascist violence on the social media platform he purchased entirely for that purpose, I don't think Musk's quest to normalize fascist ideology and put his thumb on the scale to elect fascist politicians in the Pig Empire is the widely underreported story it used to be.
With that having been noted however, I'd like to briefly push back on the idea that "everybody knows" what Musk's game is by now, and that his efforts largely consist of preaching to the choir; an idea firmly rooted in the false assumption that anyone who isn't a fascist has long since exited Twitter (or X, if you insist.) Even setting aside the fact that this position is pretty ridiculous given that Pig Empire governments, politicians, news outlets, and celebrities all continue to maintain an active presence on "Daily Stormer the Social Media SiteTM," the empirical data simply doesn't back that position up. If we are to presume Musk is somehow only speaking to fascists, then the data suggests we as a society have a *much* bigger fascism problem than anyone is prepared to admit:

Election Disinformation From Elon Musk Is Drawing Billions of Views on X
"The report from CCDH, a nonprofit organization focused on protecting civil liberties and holding social media companies accountable, found that 50 false or misleading posts shared by Musk on X between January 1 and July 31 of this year racked up a staggering 1.2 billion views. The group categorized the posts under three main themes: false claims that Democrats are “importing voters” through illegal immigration (the bulk of the content that researchers examined); false claims that voting is vulnerable to fraud; and a manipulated video, also known as a deepfake, of Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to the report, while independent fact-checkers found the content in all of those 50 posts shared by Musk to be false or misleading, none of the posts in question contained a “community note,” X’s user-generated fact-checking system that the company promise’s can contextualize “potentially misleading posts.” Just this week, Musk claimed in a post on X that community notes offer “a clear and immediate way to refute anything false in the replies,” adding, “the same is not true for legacy media who lie relentlessly, but there is no way to counter their propaganda.”
Imran Ahmed, CEO of the CCDH, said in a statement accompanying the report that Musk “is abusing his privileged position as owner of a small, but politically influential, social media platform to sow disinformation that generates discord and distrust.”
Yes, you read that correctly, at the time the CCDH report was published, fifty posts by Musk that are essentially election disinformation or fascist propaganda have received 1.2 billion (with a b) views; no doubt aided by Musk's manipulation of the Twitter algorithm to make his own posts the most popular content displayed on the platform. Furthermore, I think it's important to understand that this report looked at just fifty posts by only Musk himself; it says literally nothing about all of the other influencers, politicians, and nazi propagandists working to spread fascist ideology on the platform whatsoever. Finally, while I'm certain that there are a great number of chuds viewing Elon's posts, the reality is that pretending it's only chuds doing so simply cannot be supported by the raw data; whether X users like it or not, they're seeing Musk's fascist content by design.
Look, fascists have been producing fascist propaganda for a very long time, and they do so for a reason - because if enough people consume that propaganda, it works to spread and normalize fascist ideology, creating permission structures for fascist political activity. You are not immune to propaganda, and neither are the millions and millions of unsuspecting people consuming nazi ideology on Twitter/X.
This in turn means that Elon Musk and his social media platform are a legitimate fascist threat to Pig Empire society, and the vast portions of our establishment who remain on the platform, drawing unsuspecting readers to a place where they will be exposed to the fascist content Musk's site is disseminating, are part of the goddamn problem. Given the fact that Musk now appears to be actively suppressing content that disagrees with his reactionary, revanchist worldview, it is simply no longer acceptable for establishment figures in the Pig Empire to claim they must keep producing content for Musk (which is what posting on Twitter ultimately does) because "that's where the people are." Plunging the world into a nazi hellscape for views and likes, is simply not an acceptable tradeoff for anyone, anymore.
#Democrats flip #SocialMedia *#censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP
#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.
#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” *#conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

The latest on Twitter / X
It appears that many people outside of the UK have little idea what has been taking place over the past week here and Elon Musk's role in it.
Here's a thread explaining a bit more and why so many people in the UK are leaving X 🧵 👇
#X #Twitter #UKRiots #massmigration #socialmedia #mastodon #Threads #Bluesky
Well, here I am #mastodon. I never thought the day would come, but I've decided to join a different social media platform.
To be honest, I'm really sick of #twitter or #x (whatever) and all the bullshit that happens on that shitty site. Even though most of my memories and followers are over there, let's see how this goes.
Via NetBlocks:
⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show #Brazil's leading ISPs are now enforcing the Supreme Court's order to ban #X (formerly #Twitter); the order follows X's refusal to censor accounts associated with the previous administration and political right, and its refusal to appoint a representative
“A Brazilian Supreme Court panel has upheld the decision of one of its justices to block billionaire Elon #Musk’s social media platform #X nationwide, according to the court’s website.
The broader support among justices deals a blow to Musk and his supporters…” #Brazil https://apnews.com/article/6942614705a4e85064f1d98628b49295
Alô você! Você mesmo que chegou do #X / #Twitter nessa última leva e tá gostando daqui do Mastodon. Pessoal aqui é legal, né?
O quê? Tá triste pq seu coleguinha resolveu ir para o Threads ou BlueSky? Queria manter contato com eles mas não quer criar conta em mais uma rede social? Não se preocupe.
O #ConselhoJedi que eu te dou hoje é seguir esse fio que eu vou te ensinar como seguir pessoas de outras redes.
