Free speech is when you let people say controversial things.

Perhaps my favourite 'Musk and Free Speech' moment, the one to be shared with the class, is when he sought to legally compel advertisers to buy time on his garbage fire social media app, after it transpired that advertisers don't like their ads being associated with Nazis.
And advertising is the most banal, empty, facile form of speech, but by compelling groups to provide representation on his platform it forever showed that free speech, actually free, is not something Musk will ever support.
Which makes his supporters trying to claim CSAM as a first amendment thing... just ring a little more hollow. (Also? Ew.)

Free speech is not when the worldās richest man builds a CSAM generator, hooks it up to the worldās largest public photo database, and gives 4chan a subscription service.
Iāve written thousands of words defending peopleās right to be wrong on the internet.
I donāt need thousands of words for this. I have eight: what the fuck is wrong with these assholes.
@Daojoan May I answer your eight words in only one word? Fascism.

@Daojoan Maybe we got the idea of free speech wrong. It's about the right to be right. Being wrong is usually no problem in fascist or clerocratic governments, as long as you are wrong their approved way. Being wrong their way while they still try to get into power helps them. Once they are in power, or close to get there, they flood the zone with shit, defending their shit with āfree speechā.
Free speech is a concept of the 18th century, trying to overcome aristo&clerocratic governments who rely on lies, indoctrination and conformism.
The most fragile, worth to defend speech is the inconvenient truth. The most common speech is insults, lies, fakes and porn.

@Daojoan In an EU where policy makers scream they want to stop CSAM and so they want backdoors on phones and scanning tools to detect what you are sending in your chats, it's good to know we can always move to Twitter / X to message eachother because there's no move whatsoever to stop this.
Yes there has been a bit of news 5 days ago, but it remains silent now.
They're scared of a rich man.

@arclight TIL about Chronophilia ... but isn't ephebo a bit narrow? Like excluding hebephilia(9-14) for instance.

@Daojoan They are fascists. And even after their "divorce" or end of bromance... They are still the same. The freedom of speech thing was BS for the masses.

@Daojoan There's a reason CSAM is illegal. Freedom of speech != the right to harm others

@Daojoan Surely many countries must have laws against CSAM? They need to ban all X products & "services".

@Daojoan The cabal of high-wealth and high-power pederasts allow for this, same shit with the Epstein files.

sure they have laws but has any LEO in ANY nation arrested Musk for creating & sharing these images? no, & they won't because, at the end of the day, no gov't on this Earth really thinks women & children are equal humans worthy of defending
thus bullying women / girls out of public life is a consequence-free crime, all reward, no risk
we have all seen that actual sexual trafficking is fine w/ gov't if the pimp is rich enough

@Daojoan My much longer twenty-three: they have always been misogynists and pedophiles, and now our government has given them free rein to do whatever the hell they want.

@NatureMC @peter_slwk @Daojoan Yackety yack. They wouldnāt even call it Child Sexual Abuse Material, they went with āspicyā. Spokespeople can take a seat until they are announcing legal action enforcing the law. š«©

@Heartofcoyote Watch the video before yackety-yacking me (spicy mode was a quote, they forgot the " " in the post). It is a post about the work to enforce the law!
Some European countries also check for a possible ban of X. What does your country do?

Perhaps my favourite 'Musk and Free Speech' moment, the one to be shared with the class, is when he sought to legally compel advertisers to buy time on his garbage fire social media app, after it transpired that advertisers don't like their ads being associated with Nazis.
And advertising is the most banal, empty, facile form of speech, but by compelling groups to provide representation on his platform it forever showed that free speech, actually free, is not something Musk will ever support.
Which makes his supporters trying to claim CSAM as a first amendment thing... just ring a little more hollow. (Also? Ew.)

@NatureMC @peter_slwk @Daojoan Vote for fascists apparently. I just want to see laws enforced appropriately and without violence.
š«© And to be clear, the yackety-yack was directed at the EU post not you.

@Daojoan some weird kind of āmasculinityā as strategy.
Or perhaps itās simply sadism.
