#Twitter/X CEO Yaccarion's public protestations that the platform is absolutely opposed to hate speech and discrimination are utterly undermined and rendered totally impotent for advertisers (and everyone else) by the fact that Musk not only permits such postings, but actually amplifies and publicly AGREES with some of them to his large following there. Q.E.D.

@lauren Meh.

One issue is that people disagree on what constitutes hate speech.

@volkris you can say that again. I got suspended for telling someone to jump in the ocean. Meanwhile other people were literally posting “gas the Jews” and we had to report it for over a week to get any action.

@sysop408 @volkris The likely criteria there was that your statement was directed at someone specific (while mild) while the latter is directed at an entire group (while horrific). This can obviously have crazy results.
