#SocialMedia#Twitter#Censorship#FreedomOfSpeech: "Elon Musk is taking an increasingly combative approach against what he claims are government efforts to censor posts on his social media platform X, as the billionaire engages in public battles with political figures over the issue.
X has attacked “takedown” requests in Brazil, India and Australia in recent weeks, after authorities demanded the removal of content on the site they deem as illegal or harmful.
Its owner, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, has gone further, labelling Brazil’s supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes a “dictator” and Australia’s eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, a former Twitter employee, a “censorship commissar”.
In one of these disputes, an Australian legal hearing began on Friday to determine whether X must scrub footage of a violent attack in Sydney from the platform."
"#Jack recently deleted his account on #Bluesky, once pitched—by him—as #socialmedia’s decentralized solution to censorship, and left the company’s board. I reached out and asked him why, which is where our call began…what follows is a missing chapter of internet history that sheds light not only on Bluesky, but #Twitter, X, and the past 5 years of censorship & backlash. The future will be decentralized, or it won’t be free." https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana
Na anderhalf jaar X-loos te zijn, heeft #Eurovision toch duidelijk bewezen dat #Mastodon de snelheid mist om rampen en breaking news in de eerste fase te detecteren... De sfeer op de #Birdsite is nog 10 x erger verpest dan toen dus voor de sfeer, gezelligheid en leren van elkaar blijf ik in de eerste plaats op de #Fediverse maar ergens ga ik het voormalige #Twitter toch weer een plaats moeten geven in mijn SM-mix, vrees ik ... 🫤 #esc#esc2024#Eurosong#europapa#joostklein
I rarely look at Twitter these days but logged in on an account and got instantly met with Musk, Fox and Rowling. I am so very glad Mastodon exists… #twitter#musk#mastodon
A US district judge William Alsup has dismissed Elon Musk's X Corp's #lawsuit against #BrightData, a data-scraping company accused of improperly accessing #X (formerly #Twitter) systems and violating both X terms and state laws when scraping and selling #data.
#Nintendo has pulled out of #Twitter (or as Space Karen calls it, #X). Reasons are likely due to price hikes on the content-posting API, and the fact that the site is a political hellhole, or as this article describes... "Nazi-curious"
"With Nintendo’s departure, all three major console makers have pulled the plug on native screen-sharing to X."
(I am going to start using the understating euphemism "Nazi-Curious" now)
It's hard to imagine #StackOverflow made their decision without considering the fate #Twitter and #Reddit suffered. That they willingly chose to burn the remaining goodwill they had with their users is bewildering.
»#Bluesky was launched to become the open source protocol layer for social media platforms, but the team ended up “literally repeating all the mistakes we made” at #Twitter.«
»There’s “absolutely no way” social media companies remain censorship resistant without moving to open protocols. “We need to change the foundation everything is built on.”«
»Von Fake News zum totalen Chaos! Wie böse bist du? Bekomme so viele Follower*innen, wie du nur kannst.«
Social-Media ist Propagabda wie andere Medien auch. Es sind nicht alle und es wird gezielter ausgeführt um Menschen zu beeinflussen. In diesem Online-Spiel kannst du dich mal selber überprüfen oder Propaganda vertretend spielen.
