Listen elon, you set up a system where if someone pays you, you put them on top of everyone's feed, and then you started paying them for that as well if they say things that everyone interacts with, and then you ended up paying people who are generally recognized as bad actors and right wing provocateurs. What the fuck do you expect to happen? You can't blame a research agency for your explicit actions. Do you think Proctor and Gamble want their ad next to the guy saying that being trans is a nazi agenda? Apparently you don't have the power youtube does with wooing advertisers.

I mean, we live in a world where Johnson and Johnson is suing the researchers who found asbestos in their falsely certified asbestos free baby powder: https://www.asbestos.com/news/2023/07/27/johnson-johnson-lawsuit-researchers-talc-asbestos/ https://www.asbestos.com/news/2023/07/27/johnson-johnson-law... They knew their talc contained asbestos and sold it anyway, and now that they got caught they're trying to punish the people who caught them.

IIRC, the companies that stopped advertising with Twitter had asked about whether Elon would handle the Trust & Safety team correctly at a conference right when Elon was preparing to take over as CEO. The official response was to dodge the question. Not only can Elon pin blame on the research agency for his own explicit actions, he can't pin blame on the research agency for an exodus that started before the research agency released its findings. It would be like breaking your foot, going on a rollercoaster with a broken foot, and then suing the theme park for breaking your foot. I'm not a lawyer, but in any sane court, that wouldn't hold water.

  He explicitly tweeted that he would create such a council, and block anyone being added back to twitter before that council's approval. Of course that was a direct lie and Trump (among other even less savory people) was added back shortly after. Elon sycophants on twitter actively don't give a fuck because they WANT such a hostile and disgusting place, where being an asshole is rewarded, suggesting that human beings are bad for the way they were born is encouraged, and little bully cliques are the norm, because they want /pol/ but are butthurt that 4chan defaults to anonymity and won't let you build up a fanbase for your hatred.

Cleveland's only public hospital system, MetroHealth, recently had a scandal this reminds me of. The board let the CEO set his own performance metrics and the bonus schedule. Then they also let him write his own performance review. Well wouldn't you know it turns out, according to his own criteria and self-evaluation, he was one of the best CEO's in the country! Anyway. Elon just makes up his own criteria for hate speech. So of course "hate speech is at an all time low" under Elon.
