Reminder: Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has defended child pornography, saying that stopping it is “gatekeeping”.
His position was essentially:
Important distinctions:
Thanks, John Google.
It wasn’t so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.
That’s definitely an opinion. A wrong one, but an opinion.
That’s fine and all, but the same people saying Sweeney defended pedophilia are close to if not the same people who say you’re defending pedophiles if you don’t like payment processors strong-arming porn off of a bunch of different platforms. This is not an accusation against you.
I’ve literally never heard that claim until just now.
Right wingers? You mean a nazi? A nazi took twitter that was traditionally not a political platform. It was not left wing. Google says a study showed that it was algorithmicly right leaning in terms of content.
Your comment is a load of bollocks.
Sorry to say.
reality has a well known left-wing bias
I’m going to selectively edit my post to make it easier for you to read and not get distracted from the point of what I was saying.

that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.
And i am going to point out that i responded to the part of your comment that i had a problem with.
I don’t know anything about the “point of your post” so i can’t comment.
But i would say that after brief google search, if Tim Sweeney wants to defend AIs making deepfake porn then X is 100% thr best platform to do it on. 🙄

All mega corps are shit and run by assholes.
Except Costco. For now at least.

As someone who just tried to sign up for a Costco membership online and couldn’t get past the first page of registration, on multiple devices, Costco is kinda shit too, lol.

Just go into the store. They’ll sign you up.

Planning on it lol. Was just mildly annoyed because I needed a product I have to order through their website anyway and I’ll probably need to get a month supply somewhere else to hold me over until I can get the membership and finally get it shipped.
