Except no? Not only has there been a drop in general, he removed the three largest hashtags that were used for years to trade and sell it and were completely untouched https://www.teslarati.com/twitter-taking-child-exploitation-seriously/ banned the accounts propagating it, has been in new direct reporting tools specifically for reporting it.

This is true and I congratulate them for it. This isn't a great source, though, since a Tesla-dedicated outlet would obviously report stuff that was biased in his company's favor.

"He fired the team responsible for doing it"

And it dropped, makes you think huh? Especially when you consider one of their quotes

I would like to see a measurable statistic on this. It's true that it probably dropped once they banned those infamous and popular hashtags, but I am very willing to bet that it immediately picked up again under another set of hashtags not long after.

Where they claim they personally review reported content and are highly trained to understand "contextual nuances", yet they're allowed opened and blatant pedophila, grooming, child abuse, etc. from the same accounts and same tweets for years. And yet this "AI" has removed child pornography that has been getting reported FOR YEARS by the same people.

Not sure I understand your point, having pedophiles police pedophilia is a pretty stupid idea. Twitter also has an ongoing lawsuit stemming from two individuals who have begged Twitter FOR YEARS to remove child pornography of themselves, and Twitter flatout refused and said it was impossible.

The quote this comes from is a moderator discussing the report system in general, not CSAM generally. Specifically they were discussing the usage of automated systems and how it's good but for a lot of cases it's not reliable and will require human intervention to train the automated model and to verify it's not flagging something incorrectly. Anyone who has ever dealt with social media conglomerates and overreliance on automated systems knows how much of a PITA it can be when you get banned because of a false positive and you just get given the runaround by the equally automated support. I am pretty sure the new automated system is still requiring manual intervention. Twitter was using a similar automated system pre-Musk.

I don't know much about the lawsuits in general but if they are true I am more than happy to see Twitter get run through the wringer. The world would be very good without.

(FYI I don't want to shit up dear leader's thread with Musk stuff so if you want to continue this, you can continue on my profile.)

Also most of the team that actually dealt with child porn and reported it to the proper authorities was gutted when he did mass layoffs. So.

So he fired the people who literally willfully had let CP proliferate for years? Sounds like a good idea to me!

I thought there was an end of day deadline of over a week ago. By his questions this asshole already had the story written. Where is it? Did he get fired in the great journo purge of last Friday?

Maybe it was a complete piece of shit beneath even current year MoJo standards. Yeah I know :optimistic:

Q: dont you believe it is privileged to be hired as a reporter when part of a majority upheld by the patriarchy (white, male) when you could step aside and let a black or female journalist have their voice heard instead? What makes your platform more important than a minority or opressed populations?

I take it you've never heard of the concept of CPT (colored people time).

It's not just a concept, remember - it's racist to expect BIPOC, but really just B, to be punctual. Or to even understand the concept of it. Even after the Summer of Love it still gets used as a point in DEI training. Can't fire a black person for always being at least an hour late - that's just their culture.

reading his email you can kind of deduce what his research was. there's enough questions directly about josh lore which aren't random, so he does know some site history, but a lot of it is very old and you'd be able to find answer by reading null recent post history. like recently he was looking for a rep in the states bc he doesn't want to return to america. journo's "research" is talking to discord troons because they have latched onto the image of him in florida specifically for some reason.
either that or he was hoping carpet bomb of leading questions would get null to write article for him. get a quote on just 3 or 4 questions and he could stretch that into a whole article for that shitty website.

Well whatever the fuck he does for research he should listen to Null's MATI on Trans Lifeline since he seems predisposed to believe Greta Gestava's take on it. Does he know about the embezzlement and firing? Or showing up at null's mother's house with a crossbow?

Do a real journalism, Ali. Prove us all wrong, be a human.

This bitch ass faggot will never do such a thing, even though even Wikipedoa has acknowledged Greta's thievery.
