Sadly, it's starting to sound like something 'stinks' in the land of Community Notes. To be fair, we've been waiting for someone (or a group of someones) to figure out how to game and manipulate Community Notes just like they did with Twitter's original algorithm. The question now though is, will Elon Musk do anything to fix it? Old Twitter just let it go ... Take a look at this: Let’s talk about community notes. FYI, I’m a community notes contributor. What I am seeing is a direct attempt to silence, censor, de-prioritise, de-monetise, isolate & cast doubt against anyone...

On Sunday, X owner Elon Musk called for members of the Patriot Front organization to be unmasked and questioned "Why doesn't the media or government care about their identities?" He asked. The comment came in response to X user Wall Street Silver, who theorized, "The fact that the legacy media shows zero curiosity about unmasking these guys, tells us 100% that these are federal agents or paid stooges of one of the agencies." "Seems like they should be followed and unmasked," Musk said.

Big Tech’s censorship teams appear to be losing steam amidst legal scrutiny, layoffs, and waning popularity, the New York Times reported Tuesday. YouTube, for example, cut two of five “hate speech and harassments” policy experts, removed two of five misinformation experts, and reduced its policy enforcement and response teams, according to the NYT. This comes after Google’s parent company, Alphabet, cut around 12,0000 employees in January. Twitter’s reductions have been the most pronounced since Elon Musk’s takeover and promise to restore free speech, reinstating most previously banned accounts. In November, Twitter CEO Elon Musk laid off half of the company’s...

A progressive activist is warning voters against reelecting President Joe Biden, whom she describes as a "dictator" and being "worse than Trump." "Biden is already a dictator, folks. Fascism is already here under Biden," Bree Newsome said in a Wednesday post on X (formerly Twitter). "Please pay attention to how popular will is being completely ignored because Biden doesn't give af what the public thinks if he can maintain his grip on power." Newsome, who made national headlines for removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse grounds in 2015, has staunchly opposed a second Biden term since the...

-snip- It was not the first time that Carlson, the 53 year old heir to the Swanson TV dinner fortune, had challenged American support for Ukraine’s wartime leader. On the first episode of his online program following his firing from Fox News, Carlson described Zelensky, who is Jewish, as “sweaty and rat-like, a comedian turned oligarch, a persecutor of Christians, a friend of Blackrock.” He also referred to him as “shifty,” “dead-eyed,” and as “a person who would enjoy flooding villages or starting a famine.” “It’s painful to even quote that,” said Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia group, in a...

VIDEOJack Dorsey had a horrible nightmare in the early AM hours of December 10. He didn't have to wake up to find out that Alex Jones was REINSTATED to Twitter (now X). And this nightmare isn't a one time thing. It is just the start of eternal Groundhog Day nightmares. Or you could call it a reverse Groundhog Day in that everytime Jack Dorsey goes to sleep, this SAME nightmare plays over and over and over again in his mind. There is no escape from the fate that Dorsey's soul will FOREVER be defined by his being known as Alex...

After targeting the executive during the New York Times DealBook summit last month, Musk, who owns social media platform X (formerly Twitter) slammed Iger on Thursday, writing, "He should be fired immediately." Musk added Walt Disney "is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company." Disney did not immediately respond to Yahoo Finance's request for comment.

The recent decision by Disney to pull its advertising from X (Twitter) drew fire from Elon Musk. During a conference appearance, the billionaire used the far more explicit form of telling someone to go jump in a lake to respond to the move. Musk also called out Disney CEO Bob Iger by name, accusing him of trying to "blackmail" X with money to eliminate free speech on the social media platform. What was the reason behind Disney's move? According to reports, the company was reacting to a manufactured Media Matters "study" in which they were able to produce some ads...

Anti-ESG hysteria driven by online hate platforms has disproportionally eroded portfolios of color and sabotaged our planet's future. Call it what it is: terrorism. The anti-wokes are celebrating yet another dubious victory as new data shows that global investments in ethical companies have nosedived by nearly $5 trillion over the past two years. The Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA) on Wednesday reported that the total value of sustainable assets has shrunk from $35.3 trillion in 2020 to a mere $30.3 trillion in 2022. S&P Global Clean Energy Index reports a 30% fall so far in 2023. The United States alone...

Author and journalist Michael Shellenberger has said that “U.S. and U.K. military contractors” have used “sophisticated psychological operations and disinformation tactics… against the American people” in sworn testimony in the U.S. House of Representatives. In a hearing of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government chaired by Jim Jordan (R-OH) on suppression of free speech by the government, Shellenberger presented the information he received from a whistleblower about the origins of the so-called “Censorship Industrial complex.” Shellenberger, one of the “Twitter Files” authors, coined the phrase “Censorship Industrial Complex” to describe the network of government and private entities...
