I agree with what you’re saying generally.

But in the context of X, and Meta too. These are Nazi echo chambers. By design. It’s not an environment generally conducive to getting through to folks.

If someone was closed-minded, you know around a campfire smoking a joint, I could probably plant some seeds right.

But on X, I don’t think there’s anything I could say that would cut through their cognitive dissonance.

Plus, I’d be supporting Musk’s platform by being on it. So fuck that.

Nazis don’t understand different perspectives. It’s essentially the definition.

That said, I see value in posting for the peanut gallery (when I encounter Nazis here, I don’t go on Twitter).

But debating Nazis? Hoping to change their minds?

Nah, prefer to serve them knuckle sandwiches and go about my day.

Sounds like Elon is a good candidate for addict camp.

Comments like this is why incels are creepy, and also why they are incels. But they blame woke and feminism for their own creepy behavior.

Would be sad, really, if they weren’t so hateful.

Not saying the above commenter is an incel. But this is the type of comment I would expect from someone who identifies with that community, so I thought I would take the opprotunity to point it out.

I’m trans.

Focusing on one thing, such as my gender, is what Nazis like Musk do.

Musk giving a Nazi salute, combined with his rhetoric and pro-Nazi censorship on X, isn’t one thing. It’s many things that all demonstrate that yes, Musk is actually a hateful and bigoted Nazi. Who won’t be happy until folks like me are working in concentration camps waiting to be gassed.

I said it isn’t law yet. And the article states that the law is forthcoming, and that Google does not intend to follow the forthcoming law.

Assuming you’re asking in good faith, the code is here.

Paid fact-checkers spread across all member states.

“The new Code will extend fact-checking coverage across all EU Member States and languages and ensure that platforms will make a more consistent use of fact-checking on their services. Moreover, the Code works towards ensuring fair financial contributions for fact-checkers’ work and better access to fact-checkers to information facilitating their daily work.”

Essentially, everything will have Snopes attached to it. Including political ads and other forms of advertising. As well as more blatant propaganda.

It’s set to become mandatory, i.e. law. According to the article.

And this isn’t a free speech issue. It’s about disinformation. Folks can say what they want, but a political ad needs to clearly be a political ad. And disinformation can’t be profit motivated.

It’s all in the article you just linked. You can say what ever you want, but if it’s bullshit, Google will need to flag it or face fines.
