I was excited to see his pro free speech approach and this ban wave disappoints me.

I'm actually okay with bans, suspensions and all the rest. But only if there is the following

  - A redemptive path back 
  - Due process 
  - Transparency
  - Fair application of the rules.

These recent bans have had none of that. The rule change should have been announced before the bans. There should have been warnings to remove the tweets before instant bans. The accounts should be given the opportunity to comply with the rules and come back.

While I'm sad Elon has taken this turn I still don't think Twitter is any worse off. They did this before just to a different group. At least they appear to be making progress on removing child exploitation.

I don't know if the platform can survive the disruption and unpredictably that Musk has introduced but from a moral standing, removing child exploitation wins a lot of points with me.

You don't find it telling that you have to rope in child exploitation to add weight to the scales in favor of Elon Musk?

>>xupybd+(OP)
What has Twitter done about child exploitation in the last two months other than disband the groups responsible for stopping it?

I can find any reputable news sources saying positive things about Twitter and child exploration.

>>x86_64+Z1
For which there is nil evidence.

>>x86_64+Z1
Yes, I had hoped that was evident in my post. If he had not done that I would not have had anything good to say about his work at Twitter so far.

>>xupybd+(OP)
- No sudden bans for actions occurred in the timeframe of a TOS that was explicitly interpreted as allowing them.

Elon changed the TOS to obfuscate from it being a personal and vengeful decision.

>>xupybd+(OP)
Everyone wants that but there is no feasible way to do this economically - there are too many people and too many bad actors ready to go if they even were to try to do this. Twitter is worse off - it wasn't perfect before, faltered and everyone who clamored for what you are asking for just never considered the true costs of the alternative.

>>xupybd+J3
He’s not done anything except fire the team responsible for monitoring it working collaboratively with other groups on tools. Oh, and and talking loudly. Are you always this easily fooled?

>>citize+m2
It seems to be largely made up. It's almost as if he's burning through right-wing political fear mongering tactics with a quickness.

>>citize+m2
They're leaving voluntarily. Musk has cratered Twitter's reputation so hard that even child molesters don't want to be associated with it.

>>xupybd+J3
done what exactly?

>>xcrunn+k6
Oof, that's a bit rough of you.

>>Spanis+Yc
You are right, I'm taking him at his word.

I'm not sure how they can prove much here. All I've seen is an activist in the space supporting him. Specifically https://twitter.com/elizableu

I could be wrong.

>>xupybd+Of
Sorry. Anger issues at all the benefit of the doubt horrible people get these days.

>>xupybd+2g
Yes, you are wrong. Twitter had a whole team dedicated to combating CP on the platform.

>>xupybd+(OP)
> At least they appear to be making progress on removing child exploitation.

I am not aware of any source for this claim except Elon himself.

>>xupybd+2g
I've been following @elizablue. It's quite possible she's a bit of a grifter.

And she's also Qanon or at least Qanon adjacent. Few days ago she tweeted that she did believe the world was run by a satanic pedo cult.
