Media matters didn’t hack the site, they used it as intended under ordinary user terms lol

lol at the defense being “you had to follow nazis before you’d see the nazi posts (yes, yes, they were right next to the ads from brands but the chance of that happening was one in a quadrillion)”

Tesla famously doesn’t advertise. Kind of curious if Musk tries to force a deal with X. Didn’t he make SpaceX buy ad space early in his Twitter acquisition?

That probably wouldn’t get the board to turn on him, but it would 100% make the SEC’s ears perk up.

So, if I'm understanding this right: (Formerly Twitter)'s defense is that they're showing so many different ads on the openly tolerated nazi profiles that it's statistically less likely than implied that the ads of 'major' advertisers will appear alongside praise of Hitler on a given refresh?

Like, roughly 12 out of 13 Hitler-adjacent ads are for fake mobile games, dropship scams, or the clit-sucking vibrator?

And they have multiple state AGs that are willing to pursue this in court as an unfair attack on musk's free speech.

he's never said they lied about the racist ads - his contention was that they manipulated his system into showing ads next to racist content by subscribing to the racist content on his site and refreshing their timeline multiple times, actions no regular twitter user would ever perform.

They went so far to claim that outside of Media Matters, no one had ever seen such content next to ads ever, outside of like one other person with an Apple ad. You, know, according to their analytics.

Until someone can poo poo post so well that they cost a company over 20 billion dollars, that will remain the most powerful poo poo post ever made on the internet.
