Free speech for the right wing and no one else in anti Semite Elon Musk's 'free speech' world

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-x-sues-media-matters_n_655c1eaae4b0c91d82783a46

Elon Musk’s Twitter sued the watchdog group Media Matters for America for defamation on Monday after the nonprofit published a report about ads for major brands appearing alongside posts touting Nazism.

Media Matters first published details Thursday about the spread of Nazi-related content on the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, saying Twitter had been placing ads for major brands, including Apple, IBM and Comcast’s Xfinity, next to offending content. The research group published screenshots of posts praising Hitler that ran adjacent to the ads shortly after Musk seemed to endorse an antisemitic conspiracy theory on the site.

The report prompted a fresh wave of criticism for Twitter, and many advertisers suspended their ad buys.

But Twitter claimed in the suit — filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas — that Media Matters “knowingly and maliciously manufactured” an account that manipulated the company’s algorithm to see offending content.

“Undeterred by the truth, Media Matters has opted for new tactics in its campaign to drive advertisers from Twitter,” the suit says. “Media Matters has manipulated the algorithms governing the user experience on Twitter to bypass safeguards and create images of Twitter’s largest advertisers’ paid posts adjacent to racist, incendiary content, leaving the false impression that these pairings are anything but what they actually are: manufactured, inorganic, and extraordinarily rare.”

Media Matters rejected the lawsuit’s claims.

“This is a frivolous lawsuit meant to bully Twitter’s critics into silence. Media Matters stands behind its reporting and looks forward to winning in court,” Angelo Carusone, the watchdog’s president, said in a statement. “Onward!”
>>
Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Twitter, rejected Media Matters’ response in her own statement Monday, reiterating the company stance that Twitter remains a “safe” platform for users and advertisers.

“If you know me, you know I’m committed to truth and fairness,” she wrote. “Here’s the truth. Not a single authentic user on Twitter saw IBM’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to the content in Media Matters’ article. Only 2 users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters. Data wins over manipulation or allegations. Don’t be manipulated. Stand with Twitter.”

Musk on Sunday defended his actions amid concern about his support of the antisemitic post, saying any claims he was antisemitic himself were “bogus.”

“I wish only the best for humanity and a prosperous and exciting future for all,” he said.

I came here to laugh at you

The article doesnt mention that Media Matters is a non profit funded by George Soros whose sole fuction is to smear conservative outlets.
>>
>>1238360
Stop calling him that. Just call him a Nazi .
>>
>>1238390
Good post
>>
>>1238400
shut up nazi
>>
The lawsuit said that Media Matters manipulated the X algorithm by following 30 accounts made up only of controversial users and large companies, then undertaking “excessive” scrolling and refreshing.

“The overall effect on advertisers and users was to create the false, misleading perception that these types of pairings were common, widespread, and alarming,” the filing said.

X’s safety protocols “under normal, organic conditions operate seamlessly,” it said.

When asked for comment, X replied to The Washington Post with a post by its CEO Linda Yaccarino, who wrote that “Not a single authentic user on X saw IBM’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to the content in Media Matters’ article. Only 2 users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters.”
>>
>>1238390
>George Soros
And it always comes back to antisemitism for the right wing
>>
>mediamatters gets raped in court
>suddenly agitprop Trump threads on /news/ drops 90%
Hmmmmmmmm
>>
>>1238404
So you can see fascist nazi shit next to add and they proved it by reloading the algorithm till it showed the bigot shit next to big company ads.

This means it exactly works like this. Elon is a clown and an apartheid supporter.
>>
>>1238413
>intentionally manipulate website to give it the output you want
>claim the website forced the output on you
So will you guys be paying in cash or will you simply cede control of the company to Elon?
>>
>>1238404
One, need to see proof of this claim.
Second, the fact that Twitter hosts posts cheerleading Hitler and Elon Musk announces he's an anti Semite is ad poison anyway and a watchdog exposing is fair game.
>>
>>1238420
>One, need to see proof of this claim.
Go to court, your bosses will be there
>>
>>1238417
So you don’t understand the difference between the claim by Media Matters that your ads can appear next to hate speech (which they proved)

And the claim by right wing assholes that Media Matters states in this report that your ads will be forced next to bigot shit all the time (which Media Matters never claimed in their report)

I know it is tough to understand reality when you are flooded with misinformation that makes you so angry and blind. But look at the report and stop reacting to false claims meant to enrage you.
>>
>>1238420
>the fact that Twitter hosts posts
Twitter is not responsible for the content it hosts, it's not a publisher. Remember?
>>
>>1238423
>that your ads can appear next to hate speech (which they proved)
By spending lots of deliberate time attempting to make the website do that. MM's claim is that it was common and happened without much user input. They lied and had to spend hours refreshing Twitter and intentionally tweaking the algorithm's output to get it to produce the output, one they claimed simply happened commonly and by default.

Nice attempt at damage control pajeet, but your bosses are still getting sued. Start learning to code now
>>
>>1238426
As opposed to your bosses who make you simp for a billionaire? oh wait you do that willingly for free

...and therefore your opinion is wrong
>>
>>1238422
So no proof, can't wait for this to be thrown out and Musk needs to pay damages.

>>1238424
Except when Musk publishes posts that boosts antisemitism
>>
>>1238424
That doesn't matter.
Advertisers understandably don't want their brand seen alongside posts calling to gas the kikes.
>>
>>1238426
>It doesn't happen by default, they had to... Scroll a lot and refresh the page!
So they used Twitter wrong because they used Twitter?
>>
>>1238461
These fucking conservatives screech all day about free speech and that it is okay for Musk to allow all the bigot shit in twitter. Then cheer a lawsuit when companies exorcise their freedom not to advertise on the hate speech embracing site.

Conservatives don’t give a shit about freedom for society. Consequences for everyone else but freedom for them.
>>
>>1238484
freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, sweaty.
>>
>>1238575
Which applies to companies refusing to give Elon money.

I am losing my mind. I am actually going fucking insane.

/pol/ is manifesting in the real world, I want off this stupid ride
>>
>>1238591
Funny ain't it?
They purposely configured their account to appear as a neonazi fan of apple products and then cried antisemitism when it showed them exactly what they purposefully configured their account to show them
>>
>>1238599
That you can configure your account to be a neonazi is generally not how you fucking want social media to operate. I look forward to the inevitable EU ban.

Also Apple is literally paying Elon to not have that shit happen. Media Matters isn't who got pissed. Apple is.
>>
>>1238602
Yeah, because they (among several other jewish think-tanks) are purposefully trying to destroy the platform by attacking their revenue stream.

They're literally becoming the manifestation of stereotype. Like what the fuck.
>>
>>1238604
>Musk lets a bunch of anti-Semites on the platform and personally boosts them

Good posts
>>
>>1238642
If MM's claim was that it is possible to create such an account that you can view apple ads right next to antisemitic posts, they would be correct and honest

The MMs claim was that the platform was showing apple ads right next to antisemitic posts for the user base, while in reality, they possessed the only account this happened to and it required great effort to do so

>The MMs claim was that the platform was showing apple ads right next to antisemitic posts for the user base
The claim, verbatim, was:
>corporate advertisements have also been appearing on pro-Hitler, Holocaust denial, white nationalist, pro-violence, and neo-Nazi accounts.
Which is perfectly correct and honest according to you.
>>
>>1238360
I like that Musk is called both a fascist and a free speech absolutist. Says a lot about the intelligence and self-awareness of his opponents.

The fact that Twitter was transformed from a leftist enclave into a fairer platform is really satisfying. The rage crying about it has been pretty funny.
>>
>>1238588
Nobody with a brain takes Media Matters seriously. They're a dishonest propaganda outlet.
>>
>>1238704
The fact that you think twitter, which has been known and even meme joked about for over 10 years as being a cesspool of hateful bigotry, as “leftist” till Musk came and openly started promoting the hatemongers is fucking laughable.
>>
>>1238708
Then laugh about it instead. Because you're crying about it and I'm the one laughing.
>>
>>1238709
Thanks for telling me what I am doing, while we troll you into posting and posting. You think liberals are here on 4chan for any other reason then to troll your hateful bigot ass? Trust me, all I do is laugh as I poke the idiot conservatives in this website.
>>
>>1238708
>twitter, which has been known and even meme joked about for over 10 years as being a cesspool of hateful bigotry

This is 100% true. It was explicitly an anti-white space. Elon did get rid of that hateful bigotry, and he's a hero for it.
>>
I am an employee with Media Matters and I have undeniable proof that Google is showing apple ads alongside antisemitic content.
All advertisers for Google should stop immediately, lest they be associated with antisemitism
https://files.catbox.moe/ece8eu.png

>>1238711
so he's not a free speech absolutist

Globalist Elites coordinated an ad blockade against the last Free Speech outlet in the world. 'Media Matters' a front group who claims a monopoly on objective truth lied in their letters to the Global Elite Oligarchy claiming X was 'racist' in order to give basis for the coordinated ad boycott. Deep State and CIA along with their lapdogs, Legacy Media are out to destroy Musk any way possible to regain control of the DC Narrative which threatens the DC Cabal. The Corrupt DOJ lost a lawsuit against Space X last week. What will they try next?
>>
>>1238717
>media matters points out antisemitism on twitter

you sure showed them

This doesn't make any sense. Nta. Are you retarded? And 14 years old? The subject was Musk. Lol
>>
>>1238719
and you're defending musk. i'm not. if this is too confusing for you maybe you should stop debating people
>>
>>1238716
It's more like you don't really care what's happening, you just want an excuse to rip on musk regardless of whether he removes or allows hateful content, you and your type ate going to bitch about it either way

Why? Because it's the current thing for you robots. You don't think for yourselves, you go with the popular flow and are easily manipulated by corporate media
>>
>>1238720
I'm nta and I'm not defending musk.
I'm pointing out you people are fickle demagogues and you complain about the opposite of whatever happens regarding certain subjects, musk being one of them

Because your a robot. A useful idiot. A tool of the establishment and you don't even realize it.

If your favorite propaganda outlets were praising musk, you would be doing the same thing
>>
>>1238721
you know conservatives are pretending not to be neonazis at the moment. toe the line, stupid. you come off like a leftist
>>
>>1238722
>I'm nta and I'm not defending musk
yes you are. you're doing it right now, we can all see your post
>>
>>1238723
You're an outrage monkey, simple as. That is the end sum of your existence. It's all that you are or ever will be, because that's the extent of your cognitive abilities. You'll take any position you're told to and feign understanding of the subject.
>>
>>1238725
being outraged by nazism is a good thing though. do you disagree?
>>
>>1238707
If that's the case, Elon Musk wouldn't be trying to censor them.
>>
>>1238727
He's not censoring them at all. You don't even know what's going.
>>
>>1238728
you're a good little elon pet

Let's be real, all Media Matters had to do was alert advertisers that Musk is liking and retweeting antisemitic posts and they would've fled.
What argument would Musk have then? "No you can't tell the people I'm trying to get money from that I do stuff they don't like"
>>
>>1238728
>SLAPP suit isn't quintessential censorship

That's literally why Lionsgate fled and he still just lied and said MM did that shit. Truth doesn't fucking matter to these people. They just need someone to blame for everyone hating them but themselves.

But you don't know what nazism is, so the point is moot. You're the Helen Keller of politics, deaf and blind but unfortunately not mute. Your understanding of the world is akin to a toddler's.

Shouldn't you be sucking Johnathan Greenblatts toes or something? No one is buying this Jewish crybully nonsense anymore. You overplayed your hand and now the people are seeing you for what you are and will act accordingly.

hitler didn't just target jews. why am i even trying to reason with someone defending hitler right now

There you go again, using more downloaded vocabulary words you don't actually understand.

The absolute state of the shitlib zogbot. You've been so coddled by your artificial mediasphere that you can't even perceive the near universal hatred that is shared for you and your backwards values. Unplug and deprogram.
>>
>>1238792
nobody believes you if your argument is "hitler is cool now guys"
>>
>>1238791
Why do you want to give money to the Kremlin so badly? NASA can't afford to send astronauts themselves so he provides the service using American labor. Your post-soviet vatnik nonsense will not avail you here, Slava Ukraini.

i broke the shill

>>1238793
Nobody cares about what you have to say if it just amounts to "muh Hitler". Sorry that you've found yourself in the Find Out phase of your retarded Fucking Around arc, but it's really no one else's problem.

all i found out is you worship a dead faggot who lost

>>1238790
You're unironically mad online? Yeah man, everyone can tell.

>>1238797
Which one would that be, Hitler? Because you strangely can't seem to keep his name out of your mouth. Try to watch what you say with your buddies on Stormfront, the feds are watching you.
>>
>>1238800
>you keep discussing the topic of the thread, why is that?
>>
>>1238801
The topic of the thread is about the coordinated retaliation and sabotage campaigns against anyone who voices dissent against the zionist agenda, not Hitler. Do try and keep up.

Proof?

>>1238817
>No one is arguing with you
Standard /pol/tard behavior. Engage in a debate but the second you're backed into a corner and required to produce a coherent argument you just resort to memes and pretending like debate is beneath you.

>You're being mocked for your dimwitted beliefs and fake values
I've got some life wisdom for you, /pol/tard. When you proudly and confidently declare that someone is dimwitted and has fake values but when pressed you can't produce any argument for why they are dimwitted or how their values are fake the only one who looks like a retard is you. Posturing and memeing doesn't make it any less embarrassing.
>>
>>1238819
>that's cute be we can all see the thread. why not have real arguments next time
Did you tip your fedora as you typed that in your broken ESL?

elon owning twitter really just proves the right exists to whine about their feeeeeeeeelings and then claim their feelings matter more than other people's feelings, other people's livelihoods, other people's jobs, or other people's lives.
little bitch boys needed a safe space to cry in. so elon spent 40 billion to do that and now wants to know why everyone thinks he's lame. its almost like telling us what you think is a bad idea.

If only we taxed the rich to fund NASA instead of outsourcing it to billionaires who overcharge the government.
