I don't think Twitter is blocking anyone's ads from appearing with Nazi content. IBM's objections are tenuous. -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 16, 15:57 1
- From talk I see it would seem to be an impossible task. - the wrong element Nov 16, 17:36
More free speech available for others I assume Elon will try and spin it. Or blame the ADL. -- nm - VMan Nov 16, 14:48 2
- Here's hoping at least karma hits and Starship crashes and burns this weekend. -- nm* - Jovian Nov 16, 14:51 1
  - Simply not firing would be good. Not keen on the destruction and who knows what damage. Rather it just go limp as it were. -- nm - VMan Nov 16, 15:02
"Cause we don't need that association... uh, again..." -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 14:26
Like, it took them this long to realize this was happening? -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Nov 16, 14:22 15
- anti-semitism is only bad these days when it happens on college campuses - hollywood big shot Nov 16, 14:30 13
  - that’s not even been implied anywhere I’ve seen. plenty of coverage of it elsewhere. - i.b.! Nov 16, 14:40 12
    - you should (no not really) listen to more rightwing radio, college kids and college campuses are basically all they talk about in regards to this. - Jovian Nov 16, 14:45 9
      - No, you really shouldn't. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 16, 15:14
      - that it’s only colleges where it’s been happening? that doesn’t really make sense to me - i.b.! Nov 16, 14:54 5
        
        well its not that they say its the only place its happening.. - Jovian Nov 16, 14:56 4
        
        gotcha. it’s an easy target for them, so not surprised it’s in the mix. — nm - i.b.! Nov 16, 14:58 3
        
        Oct 7th was the best 'gift' they could have asked for. -- nm* - Jovian Nov 16, 14:59 2
        
        oh yah; and ben shapiro’s elevation is another reason to abhor hamas. — nm - i.b.! Nov 16, 15:03 1
        
        I love this take, btw. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Nov 16, 15:05
      - that's always been the case. i'm talking more about mainstream reporters and the kind of anti-semitism they choose to either retweet about or ignore -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 16, 14:47 1
        
        Oh I know. But I was glad to see Tapper call that Elon tweet out almost immediately. - Jovian Nov 16, 14:51
    - Musk's tweets get play across the spectrum because he's Elon but stuff like Rev Hagee getting a spot on the stage at the Israel rally aren't amplified -- (link) - hollywood big shot Nov 16, 14:44 1
      - I was upset he was included, it was embarrassing and unnecessary and harmful. I saw a lot of others similarly critical, and I wish it had gotten as - i.b.! Nov 16, 14:51
- Nope, just this long to be called out on it. I guess Apple and Comcast are cool with it though. -- nm - Jovian Nov 16, 14:25
