Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X?

  I have added Elon to my block keywords, but lately the circlejerk had somehow seeped its way out onto my feed.

  Could anyone share other blocked terms they find effective?

  It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to “play the game” as they’ve always known it.

  Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

  But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can’t make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

    You can and should have spicy reporting while remaining impartial. It takes more work to drum up the evidence, but that’s what separates good reporting from great reporting.

    After Public Nazi Salute Musk-Owned X Now Running Pro-Hitler, Holocaust-Denying Ads

    Because they’re scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.

    You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.

    As long as he’s winning, people are buying Tesla’s, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

      Scared? The journalists shouldn’t be. They’ll never have to write about it.

      Every major news organization is owned by a small handful of people playing for the same team. Internet exposure? Maybe for a few minutes before your site is delisted/deranked and/or taken down by a barrage of nonsense DCMA takedown notices that are effective immediately (with no evidence) but to reverse them you need to painstakingly disprove each: to both your provider and the claimant.

      Time to accept that we’re juuuust at the tipping point of freedom of speech and expression. Slip a bit more and we’re sliding right into an identical situation as seen in China, North Korea, and Russia. Remind me… who does the head apricot idolize? Neat.

      This can’t be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk’s obvious Hitler, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven’t seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

      Just change it to ‘controversial salute’ and keep the rest. People will fill in the blanks

  Why is anyone asking such an idiotic question?

  source

  • Buffalox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    For idiots to know the answer.

• TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The ad paid money to the platform, and said platform has been increasingly permissive with hate and anger since Musk bought it.

• TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

  Next question.

  Because pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying content aligns with the platforms ownership and doesn’t receive an appropriate response from a user base who learned about aliens on History and history on Fox News entertainment.
