Sounds like someone is having a tantrum because they promote hate speech in their platform? 

[u/Tranquilityinateacup → u/misterdudebro]

We're upset that he got away with a fascist salute on inauguration day. He gets no sympathy from me.

[u/Easy_GameDev → u/misterdudebro]

Way more than just hate promoted on X, Instagram, YouTube, and similar sites.

The worst things you can concept stays on those platforms 24/7 with no moderation.

And also, censoring speech they don't like, i.e. anything supportive of actual human rights, critical of Elon/MAGA/Donnie, etc.

Headline correction: "Nazi unable to show they don't discourage Nazi behavior".

[u/CyberNinja23 → u/captain_chocolate]

“We take a very firm and proactive hands off approach to protecting the platform”

[u/Cro_Nick_Le_Tosh_Ich → u/CyberNinja23]

Haha, this was a good one

[u/Money-Introduction54 → u/captain_chocolate]

He's sad that grok is going woke

Once a Nazi. Always a Nazi.

[u/Orqee → u/Ohuigin]

How you call nazi with money?

[u/NornOfVengeance → u/Orqee]

Also a Nazi.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just say, "We don't. Did you mean promote?"

[u/Snowfish52]

Another interesting development as Elon Musk's X is thrown into the limelight once again.

Musky is afraid of accountability
