I'm sure this one won't make anyone angry.

I just think it's dishonest to say that the politics are unavoidable on other platforms, but they are on X. Its *point* is its politics; you're just saying they exist at a level you find palatable. The guys who doxed my family aren't on the other platforms; they're followed by staff members on X.

More to the point — people who stayed on the platform don't realize how inured to extremism they've become. They regularly get exposed to trending topics, and amplified content from verified accounts, that they would have recoiled from just a few years ago. I don't miss anything *not* being there.

Then, of course, the most salient point: They pay a man who sold content of a 2-year-old being sexually abused, whose account Musk personally restored after the account was suspended. Millions of users saw the content, and thoey are still on the service, too. It's a paid CSAM distribution site.

Let's see if he replies here or does a screenshot dunk instead.

We've known each other a long time, he knows how I feel. I think the challenge ultimately is that there's a cohort that just doesn't believe that the nazis and fascists on the site determine who gets to thrive there. (Or, they do believe it and don't care.) I do not persuade anyone; not my ministry.
