Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.

      Well, you see, one of the primary offenders went and bought the platform. And, like, everyone else just let him because money.

        Not just let him. Forced him to buy it. He was fucking around and made a joke offer and the court decided we they really, really wanted him to own Twitter so badly they would require him to buy it.

          See, he should have remembered he was an idiot fucking around before he signed a legally binding contract that he would do it. At that point the Twitter execs were bound to force the deal through, because they were obligated to maximize shareholder profits, and let’s face it, there was never going to be another overpriced offer like that again.

        Too busy labeling NPR as state-sponsored, etc, to care about terrorist type discourse.

            Artists, scientists, authors, professors, people just trying to be normal in general, etc. They do still exist there. Otherwise there wouldn’t be pushback.

            To illustrate, there is little to no pushback on Truth Social, because that place actually is full of nothing but idiots, with exception for reporters who have accounts just to keep tabs on things, like whatever Trump’s latest meltdown is. I cannot remember the last time anything but Trump posts were reported from that platform. It’s just too stupid and vanilla MAGA to be worth bothering with.
