Twitter is threatening legal action against the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a nonprofit that researches hate speech and content moderation on social media platforms.
The letter from Twitter’s lawyers alleges that CCDH’s research publications are intended to ‘harm Twitter’s business by driving advertisers away from the platform with incendiary claims.’
This is a pretty bold move from Twitter, especially considering that CCDH is a well-respected organization that has been doing this kind of research for years. And it’s especially ironic coming from Elon Musk, who has said that he’s a ‘free speech absolutist.’
But Musk has also shown that he’s sensitive to criticism, so it’s not surprising that he’s taking this kind of action against CCDH
Stop giving Musk free publicity. Don’t post or upvote Musk spam.
Edit Not posting Musk spam on Lemmy does not mean there’s no accountability. What Musk wants is for idiots like you to keep upvoting his daily bullshit and doing his marketing for free.
So let them operate under the radar and avoid any and all accountability? I think that might be exactly what Musk wants.

Some apps have a word filter you could use. What i learned from this post is that i will make a donation to the researchers when i can afford it
Isn’t that what you’re doing right now? If no one can post even an opinion against it, you’re clearly the hypocrite to say not them but it’s entirely ok for you to do it
