X is suing California over social media content moderation law::X, the social media company previously known as Twitter, is suing the state of California over a law that requires companies to disclose details about their content moderation practices.
“If @X has nothing to hide, then they should have no objection to this bill,” Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel, who wrote AB 587, said in response to X’s lawsuit.”
The government breaks out absolute worst argument they could
It’s the same argument that conservatives use so they will understand.
Did you expect any better of an argument from the type of politician who thinks they’re entitled to this kind of intrusive bullshit?
There’s nothing intrusive about asking for transparency from companies doing a piss poor job limiting the spread of hate and lies while claiming that their efforts are herculean in effort as well as effectiveness.
“That big meanie is trying to make us admit to the fact that not only are we not doing anything to combat hate and lies, we’re actively and purposely spreading as much of both as we can! So unfair! 😭”
Why is anyone calling it X?
The sign still says Twitter, the domain still says Twitter, it’s still Twitter.
I call it Nazi Island

I call it X/Twitter/whatever just to add some frustration and negative sentiment to the branding in my own circles. A reminder that the platform’s been poisoned and it isn’t what people should be using.

Alright, I’ll have a shower then.
Remember kids, hate speech laws only outlaw speech the state doesn’t like. You know, like McCarthy did.
And the false equivalence of the year award goes to…
“content moderation” is a slimy way to say censorship.
“Leave the richest man on earth alone!” he yelled out, weilding his katana in a reverse grip… for some reason.
Said the person who has never been a moderator or has any clue about moderation.
This is an instance where scanning over someone’s post history might elucidate why they are spewing bullshit. HINT: it’s SOP for that account.

The only reason they use the word “constitutional” is because they want the conservative supreme court to make a ruling to allow hate speech.
Meanwhile, conservatives also want to ban books about love.
This really has nothing to do with technology though. Quite the contrary. Twitter isn’t technology. It’s a tool for making dark age politics.

Also because they’re fond of pretending that if something they’re doing isn’t expressly forbidden in the constitution, that means it’s VIRTUOUS and must be protected at all costs!
On the other hand, anything that thei opponents do that isn’t expressly MANDATED by the constitution is villainy most foul and must be outlawed and penalised with at least a decade of
enslavement that is highly lucrative to the owner donorsimprisonment
