effectively all moderation on twitter has been stripped away just in time for
the World Cup.
And what do you think that has led to massive pervasive racism
against teams against individual athletes.
And twitter is doing effectively nothing to stop it.
Now, admittedly in past years, they hadn't done much to stop this sort of thing.
But there were policies in place.
There were teams to take a look at tweets threatening or
racist tweets that have been flagged, then take them down.
That is not happening right now.
And bear in mind, hours before the World Cup began,
must said that twitter's rules to hate speech are going to be removed.
So instead it's not that the speech is going to be removed as it
would have before, but now it's gonna be max de boosted, which is a technical term.
And I understand that if you don't know coding and engineering,
it might be complicated.
What it means is nothing.
It means literally nothing right now.
The tweets are available, you can see them.
Maybe Elon musk has some sort of idea of what that means in the future.
But right now you can see the racist threatening tweets and these are being
cataloged by researchers from the Center for countering digital hate.
This is a british nonprofit.
They identified these tweets going at dozens of different black footballers who
will be playing in the World Cup.
These are tweets using things like the N word monkey and banana emojis,
tweets telling players to go back to other countries and
tweets mocking players use of english of all of the tweets that they identified and
reported only one was ever removed at least as of right now.
So it just remains.
Thank you Elon musk for this new regime.
Yeah, I mean helping spread and hate.
I mean that's the whole idea right?
Freedom of speech.
So what is this accomplishing?
That's the next question people keep you know, as he said,
I'm gonna bring back hate and hate to just flow freely.
What is it doing?
Why why is it people feel the need that they have to
I mean do you think they got somewhere does that suddenly mean that these
football players that they hate so much for
some reason just because of who they are that suddenly their team will lose.
What does this mean?
It's just releasing hate.
It's just letting go of hate and then hopefully looking for
your fellow hateful bigoted bigoted racist people that you guys can have a good
old bigoted racist conversation together and laugh and chuckle all you want again.
What is it that you've accomplished here?
This whole thing.
$44 billion dollars to unleash more racism because what do we get into again?
What's the what's the endgame here?
It's just fulfilling their hate.
You know, if you run out of hate it's like you know you're hungry so he's like,
hey what I have to spend some money on making sure all the hateful people still
have a platform to spread that hate and
then maybe hopefully then it can lead to some people saying you know I'm gonna do
something about these people that we hate so much.
Let's go on a murder spree just saying because these things do happen.
Yeah.
Yeah I mean I can I can tell you exactly what all of this was for.
This was for Elon musk to have some white supremacist in cell,
send him a meme that he then steals without even liking a post to his twitter.
And then Jordan Peterson comments that Elon musk is funny,
That's what he spent $44 billion dollars for because he is desperate for
people to like him and since he doesn't have the wherewithal to get good people
to like him who he has to appeal to is trolls online, right wing weirdos and
so that's what he's doing and this is how it's manifesting.
I wanted to give credit to skittle but
Dragon Wrasse says rich white guy from South Africa's racist.
I'm shocked.
Yeah, weird that he's not taking it seriously weird that just yesterday he
tweeted with his trademark crying laughing emoji that they found hashtag stay
woke sweatshirts in a closet in twitter which apparently had been there following,
I believe it was the violence in Ferguson, it was the thing that came about as
a result of that and at that point see the twitter management wanted to reassure
black people that they had their back so they were wearing that sort of thing as
a show of solidarity for a community that had just experienced police brutality.
But to Elon musk, that's funny because they're woke,
Let's get rid of these stupid shirts.
It's very funny, weird that he doesn't take that seriously.
Make sure he replaced it with the N word T shirts that they all wear on twitter,
I guess under his new directives.
