Yeah, but I don't want my product associated with that speech. You can't force me to put my product on a pro nazi platform. Add to that the algorithm pushing nazi propaganda on Twitter, then no public company with a duty to the shareholders should advertise on Twitter.
Bro you sound like a loony.
There's groups of stupid racists who idolize the Nazis, yes. To say a company Musk has owned for what..2 years? Is a 'pro Nazi platform' and Twitter pushes 'Nazi Propaganda' is madness.
This is the self fulfilling prophecy where you're so angry at the world and think so many things are wrong, you can't stop talking, searching and watching about fucking Nazis, a dead group from nearing 100 years ago and then you see more Nazi shit and you come on here spewing it.
Jeeeez, the world's going down the fucking toilet.

They literally brought back the daily stormer.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
A group of fuckwits posting nazi shit. That website calls them 'literal Nazis'. I think a literal Nazi is a white European from the 30s and 40s who were either soldiers or members of the political party.
These are racist fuckwits riding a dead band wagon, don't give them any air time.
No there were Nazis in Florida protesting Disney just recently . Are they time travelers? Nazi is an ideology not literally German soldiers from ww2.
What's the ideology of Nazis? White supremacy? Aryan race?
That's just racists. Nazis are a dead political party, you give these people far too much credit. Like a bunch of fuckwits turn up to Disney land with swastikas on signs and people act like it's the Blitzkrieg all over again.
How pro nazi do they have to get? I’d say even a bit pro Nazi is too much.
Well any Nazi sentiment is too much. I'm just saying don't glorify the cunts.
People do seem to be rather hysterical nowadays, don't they.
You wouldn’t be saying that if you were a jew
I might convert, but will probably never get around to it.
That was proven to be false information from Media Matters. They had to game the system to get advertising to show up beside nazi feeds. The average person using X isn’t going to see that besides ads and you as an individual using X can block content that you don’t want to see, what you don’t get to do is decide what other choose to and not the see.
It has not been proven to be false information. The only ones saying that are Xitter, Musk, and the right wing echo chambers. So, the only proof consists of Xitter saying they didn't do it, much like the toddler caught with chocolate on their face saying they didn't eat the chocolate.
Only thing I can say is we’ll see how it plays out in court I could be wrong, but at the end of the day we’re just bench sitters in all this
Unless Twitter actively prevents people from seeing Musk's tweets, it's going be pretty hard to convince people that their content isn't showing up with antisemitic content lmao. Musk has, once more, gloriously fucked himself over. Who knows when he'll say something antisemitic again, and it'll be a recommended tweet since he made it?
The last time I checked if you don’t want to follow someone as an individual it’s within your right to block them. You don’t need a centralized company blocking something from everyone that you don’t like.
If you're an advertiser who doesn't want their content to appear next to antisemitic content, you kinda do need it to be blocked from everyone.
It doesn't matter if the average person will see it or not. What matters is that it can be seen, as shown and described by Medusa matters, at all. What part of that don't you get?
It’s impossible to fully prevent the issue so the only thing you can hope for is that must people don’t see this. These companies don’t really care it’s just some woke agenda that whey to be pushed/enforced and if you play ball they won’t care, Before Elon there was a bunch of CP on twitter that went unchecked and they didn’t care. So, why are they not pulling ads from Instagram and Facebook, both of which have people policing the platform, which arguably has smaller or more of the same things that they claim to have issue
