I'm kind of surprised Germany hasn't already, it is legit illegal to make any statement glorifying Nazis there.

Yes, please repost all violating content. That makes a lot of sense.

Our policy is that everything is open source and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports.
Please list the violations you allude to on 𝕏, so that that the public can see them.
Merci beaucoup.

I started to quietly tear up. She couldn’t see my face and I didn’t make a sound, but she said,
“Don’t cry. It’s okay.”

The source of something can spread long after the original context is lost. I was seeing "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" memes for 6 months before I saw that god awful Darth Vader scene in "Revenge of the Shit."

I deleted the Twitter app on both my mobile devices. I still have an account I can access it from the web but rarely go there.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/13/elon-mu ... nlrb-.htmlElon Musk’s X illegally fired employee who publicly challenged return-to-work plans, NLRB alleges
KEY POINTS
- Elon Musk’s X broke the law in firing an employee who criticized the company’s return-to-work policy, the National Labor Relations Board alleged in a complaint.
- Musk allegedly told Twitter employees “If you can physically make it to an office and you don’t show up, resignation accepted.”
- Several workers expressed “concern and outrage” over the directive to return to the office immediately, according to the legal charge.

Less than useless, actively spreading misinformation.
https://www.mediamatters.org/twitter/el ... mas-attackElon Musk’s X hits a tipping point, with widespread condemnation of misinformation about Hamas’ attack on Israel flooding the platform
Journalists, experts, and users of X blast Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino’s policies as making the platform worse than useless
According to disinformation experts and multiple news reports, the deluge of misinformation on Elon Musk’s social media platform X about Hamas’ attack on Israel was caused by changes that he made to the platform since taking over.
These changes included reshaping the platform’s approach to content moderation, making drastic cuts to its trust and safety team, reinstating banned accounts, allowing any user to purchase a verification checkmark, and amplifying posts from these “verified” accounts to other users.
The misinformation problem on the site is so extreme that numerous journalists and experts are warning that X (formerly known as Twitter) is now useless as a reliable source of information in a crisis.

I'm curious if blocking blue checks affects the site's monetization efforts.
As it is often pointed out to me, I have few followers (by design), so I doubt I'm affecting anyone's engagement rates.
