Does anyone seriously think EFF posting to X yesterday tarnished their brand? Be real.

Yes, people do in fact judge others for their associations. If you don't that is fine but I imagine you would also hold the view that not posting on X shouldn't be controversial then either.

  Who is "normal" in this context? Because people who support the EFF's mission are pretty clued into what is happening and do care.

My neighbor blares Fox in their kitchen every day. I view them with the same flavor of suspicion as someone who posts there.

The advertisers that evaporated and left behind a lot of no label dropshipping scams seem to think so. Did a lot of them eventually come back because there is some audience to squeeze numbers from? Sure, but I also wouldn't negate that many didn't and aren't coming back because it is Elon's playground now.

Yeah, I do. People & brands having a link to an X account is a huge red flag. It's a public statement that you support child pornography and the end of democracy in the US. That's going to tarnish a brand pretty majorly.

  Twitter has become a lot better since people who say truly insane things like this have left. What on earth does Twitter have to do with child pornography? What kind of misinformation have you been reading?

Yes. I applaud the move and only wish they would have done it sooner.

Yes, absolutely. The CEO of X did Nazi salutes and promotes white genocide narratives, Grok has created posts praising Hitler, and when people used Grok to publicly generate CSAM for free, they fixed it by putting it behind a subscription platform. The only people I know and respect who are still on X are sex workers, because X is still the most porn-friendly social media site. When you say "Be real", you're pleading with people to take your statement more seriously. But it's simply the case that people have very strong and negative opinions about nazis and child pornography.
