5500 words to say the ad was blocked in error:
'According to X, the account had been labeled as political in 2020 "when political ads were prohibited"'(prior to Musk's takeover)
- th0ma5 3y agoStill very much needs to be discussed. Now that they've opened the can of worms of being a political entity, it most certainly was a political decision not to find cases like this within their own systems that they should know about. Are they really prepared or are they going to further cave to the Saudis?
- tensor 3y agoThis really begs the question, when they removed the policy why did they not remove all the existing blocks and labels? Sounds fishy to me.
- paulddraper 3y agoLikely not a reason, just a mistake. I don't see the reason for deliberately doing it.
- delecti 3y agoMy understanding is that there isn't an abundance of people around at Xitter these days to do that kind of due diligence. "Nobody had time to go through and unblock all the people blocked under the old policy" doesn't sound fishy to me at all.
- nogridbag 3y agoHaving lots of Chinese friends, whenever I see the letter X at the start of a word, I instinctively try to pronounce the X as a "Sh" sound. And this definitely isn't the first time this happened. Every time these Twitter/X threads comes up I have to laugh at some of these spellings :)
- TX81Z 3y agoAh, and now I’ll have this stuck in my head as well! Is this the “woke mind virus”?
