    You know, if it was anything but Twitter, I could at least have an ounce of sympathy. I remember Tumblr getting a bunch of cheap heat over its active community of furry enthusiasts. Valve cracked down on a bunch of lewd games in their Steam Store, largely out of prudishness. Reddit’s been a notorious hub for revenge porn since forever, and its still been considered draconian to blank-ban the whole site.

    But pretty much everyone drew the line at CSAM. Hell, 4chan generally drew the line at CSAM. Sites that had virtually no moderation still managed to swing their tiny hammers at CSAM wherever it cropped up.

    Twitter seems to have fully embraced this shit with an enthusiasm that can only be described as satanic. Just really, nakedly, unapologetically evil. Maybe Sweeny just doesn’t get that, and he’s reflexively defending another billionaire from the oppressive hand of Big Government Regulation. Maybe the dude’s just a nounce and thinks CSAM is no big deal. Either way, someone needs to rub his nose in it until he gets the picture.

      Satan isn’t a pedo. There aren’t children in hell. These people are worse then Satan.

        Satan isn’t a pedo.

        I wouldn’t hang my hat on this. Satanists have as much a problem with pedophilia as every other branch of the Christian faith.

            Aleister Crowley believed there were three forms of sex magick; autoerotic, heterosexual, and homosexual, (Drury, 2012). He claimed that by performing specific sexual rituals, including sado masochistic sex rituals on young boys, one could achieve financial gains and personal success, (Drury, 2012). For Crowley, the sex rituals were a sacrament and ingesting the fluids from sex and certain biological functions, such as using menstrual blood in rituals, would imbue him with knowledge, power, and success, (Drury, 2012). Certainly, in creating a cult of personality with a devoted following and in being an influencer through many generations, he can be considered successful

          Shows what you know about Satanists.

          Satanists don’t believe in Satan. They call themselves Satanists because it annoys the Bible bashes who likes to hide behind religion as an excuse for being terrible people. You know, the types that like to say “we are good Christian conservative god-fearing family” and leave you to fill in the missing pieces.

          Satanists advocate being good people and helping each other precisely because there isn’t a god to enforce this stuff. Satanists aren’t Christian and they don’t believe in God.

    … censor all of their political opponents

    … ’ child pornography?

    To be clear: X is the political opponent of anyone who values democracy. As such, it can be fairly said that this IS an attempt to censor my opponents’ … child pornography. I do not object to ‘censoring’ CSAM. Tim Sweeney thinks child porn is free speech (pcgamer - contact me for rights to this far superior headline). When X was just vile hate speech, propaganda, and misinformation, the free speech argument prevailed. This is not the same.

      Even before Grok, the moment Elongated Muskrat took over, reporting actual CSAM become much harder. But yeah, if you value democracy, you want Xitter to be gone.

    This is a CEO who shares opinions on many things he is truly uninformed on.

    So he’s politicising child abuse material now, and associating it with the political right. He’s not entirely incorrect, but it seems like he needs to think before he opens his idiot mouth.

    Stop listening or giving CEOs a place to spread their rhetoric. They have one goal in mind and it has nothing to do with making the world better.

    Is it just me, or does his surname work perfectly as a slang for small dick?
