Yet the site is so much better than it used to be for the average user. The algorithm doesn’t feel hostile to rational thought anymore. And he’s got millions of people paying to use the site now. But I guess maybe that isn’t making up for ad revenue losses? The article is paywalled so I don’t know how they reached their conclusions.

> The algorithm doesn’t feel hostile to rational thought anymore Really? When people are reporting actually seeing CP and more Nazi BS?

  I have never seen such abhorrent things as you've described, and it is meaningfully better in my experience.

  People have been reporting CP on Twitter for years and have shown evidence that old Twitter ignored. From what I’ve seen, new Twitter seems to be doing a better job of scrubbing that stuff. What Nazi bs are you referring to? Only thing I’ve seen is a couple silly Russian fanboys calling Ukraine a Nazi country.

    Are you being purposefully obtuse? Even Musk himself responded to the allegations of more nazi stuff on twitter, and by threatening to sue the ADL for reporting on it and bringing it to the attention of advertisers... As to the CP, didn't musk let go of the team handling that? Twitter is a huge online platform, obviously CP being on it isn't new, so I don't think you are giving me a fair reading by pointing this out. I'm referring to an increase in it. obviously, we both know this. I don't know what you look for on twitter that would lead you to your conclusion, you can explain that on your own. from the reporting I've seen (I don't go looking for porn on twitter, let alone CP), there is an increase, and in some cases it even is tolerated by twitter management: https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/07/27/twitter-suspends-then-unsuspends-popular-right-wing-user-who-tweeted-image-of-child-sexual-abuse/?sh=2d0a505e6670 https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/07/27/twitter-... just going to /r/twitter on reddit will give you tons of threads about there being more CP on twitter, so I'm not really "seeing it" your way. edit: and for what it's worth, I've used instagram for over 10 years and I've NEVER seen CP on it
