When the advertisers flee, and the influencers don't want to be associated, and websites don't want to link, and the traffic slows, and new users crash, the revenue will dry up: it will either be a zombie living on as a loss leader or it will shutter.

If you ever wondered what you might do, how you might react, during the rise of Hitler in Germany, you're doing it right now. There's only one place this garbage goes.

What's left of Twitter's trust and safety team took less than a minute to determine that "shut it Jew" does not violate whatever the rules are now.


"Fuck you, you piece of filth. Your family is nothing but a parasite on this earth" was adjudicated in two minutes as not violating any rules.



"You killed my God, I hate you," an example of the "Jews killed Christ" canard, was found to be in compliance in less than one minute.

I didn't expect this to go anywhere, so thank you! And I might as well post the link to my book THE STORM IS UPON US, which is partly about how QAnon repackaged antisemitic tropes - and how sites like Twitter did little to stop it.

There is no reason that anybody should have to put up with that. And no reason that anybody should spew vomit like that. It makes me wonder - if and when this becomes widely known, will the twit just brazen it out? Or will he backpedal, loudly proclaiming his innocence with all the insincerity he can muster at how this just slipped through the cracks?

that we have people this hateful in this country.

Something like this should be a trigger to send out a psychological team, not give it a free pass in the name of "free speech."

Is he on twitter tweeting more anti semitic hate? was he kicked us out of there and m let him back on? I haven’t followed much of this. If I were an advertiser I would be out of there yesterday and one second after reading this. I suppose this means Twitter is going to tank now?

Who would be crazy enough to spend that money on something and tank it…it makes you wonder if he’s doing it on purpose for some reason.

Musk loves hate speech but can't abide mild disagreement from others.

As long as cowardly racist kiss his ring Musk will keep them there. He's hoping to create a fascist Apartheid government in the US.

A MAGAt would call me a “fucking piece of shit libtard” and get nothing, and I would comment that “I don’t engage in a war of wits with an unarmed man” and get a 24 hour ban.

So . . . I’m just not subjecting myself to that anymore.

If the social media you frequent turns toxic, there is a simple answer.

(. . . and they all turn toxic after a while.)

Disconnect permanently, log off, turn off your connection.
Then go do something useful.
Anything.
Smell the roses, walk the dog, scratch your backside, anything.
