So... someone leaked a Russian propagandist's data on Twitter (Dougan leaks), and Twitter removed it within 24h... but women have to sue until they reach the Supreme Court to have nudes removed?
What?

@campuscodi ....some sort of 'purge' seems to be needed.....for the good of humanity....
@havvyhh2 The core problem remains. As long as social media remains privately owned, you will always be subject to their rules and their whims. Elon Musk simply showed what it was like when the tables were turned on progressives. The next owner could be better, could be worse also.
@Abazigal @havvyhh2 Privately owned could work if there were laws and regulations in effect instead of the current "do as you please" attitude from politicians visavi socmedia.
Sure, Twitter could still randomly ban people just because they poked fun at Elon, but if they'd be subject to removing nudes/LLMCSAM or face serious fines/jail time they'd remove the nudes/LLMCSAM.
@grepe @Abazigal @havvyhh2 Decentralized socmedia's not safe from regulation/centralized control.
E.g. how UK forums closed down after the age verification scheme while corpo socmedia just added leaky verification; how queer.af shut down after the Taliban returned to power; how mastodon.social kinda sets the fedi tone.
Getting people off of unregulated corpo socmedia and onto the decentralized seems harder than influencing politicians/law (Italy just fined Meta a hefty sum).
@campuscodi imagine a triangle, at each point is one person or entity:
- Trump
- Elon Musk
- Russia
...
@campuscodi The laws don't apply to the property of an oligarch in an oligarchy (USA)? I'm shocked!
A matter of money and pulling strings?
@campuscodi isn't Russia straight up supposed to be our enemy anyway, why wouldn't that be a thing you'd want leaked?
what if women were considered real people with equal rights, maybe something would be different around here
@campuscodi yeah but you know the guy who owns Twitter is controlled by Russia, right? Same as the orange Mussolini. Probably has the same handler too.
@campuscodi That's one reason I got rid of Twitter/X a long time ago. Too much posturing, and general BS, for my liking.
@campuscodi I guess the S in USA wasn’t what we thought.
@campuscodi Nobody forced anyone to be on Twitter (ex-Twitter 🤪). By now most if not all people know what the owners are and what they stand for. Anybody still on the platform implicitly accept the unwritten rules the new management introduced.
The question becomes why would one still be using it and why acting all surprised and indignant now? If anything the company's policies and actions are pretty consistent.
Putin linked money helped musk buy twitter.

Also someone was running a bot farm to help inflate teslas share price
Musk may not want people to understand how the disinformation bots work because he's benifiting from them too (I usually assumed musk was running the bots but maybe he has allies in oppressive states)
@campuscodi So... Where are tehy? Why not 'leak' them here? 🤔
@campuscodi Because Felon Mu$k is Putin's cocksucker.
@campuscodi are people going through these leaks? It seems it's all on https://baldvolf.com/
I just came across this, FSB dude telling him how to use Signal inside russia:
