Summary
French prosecutors have launched an investigation into Elon Musk’s X over allegations that it manipulated its algorithms to distort discourse.
The probe follows a report from a French lawmaker, citing “biased algorithms” that may have interfered with automated data processing.
Meanwhile, the EU is also investigating X for potential violations of the Digital Services Act, demanding internal algorithm documents by Feb. 15.
X has faced criticism for allegedly amplifying far-right content, with Musk publicly supporting Germany’s far-right AfD party.
The problem was when lefties were in charge of Twitter’s moderation team. They were trigger-happy in banning anyone who didn’t agree with their self-proclaimed “social consensus.” In this last U.S. election cycle, we found out this consensus was a lie. Examples:
User1: “I’m against illegal immigration. Deport the illegals now!”
Mod: “Racist!! You’re permanently banned!”
User2: “We gotta have stricter laws for legal refugees. They don’t respect our local customs and bring social issues (i.e., higher crime rates) that burden the taxpayer.”
Mod: “Nazi!! You’re permanently banned!”
User3: “I’m against hormonal therapies and sex-change surgeries on kids. We gotta have legislation that forbids it and makes doctors accountable.”
Mod: “Transphobe!! You’re permanently banned!”
They maliciously extrapolate dissenting opinions to paint them as something bad. People have the right to be dissatisfied with current policies and advocate for change. That shouldn’t be a bannable offense.
You need to have imaginary conversations with yourself to try to pretend you’re not full of shit. What a bozo.
I’m waiting for your counter-arguments. Or is ad hominem the only thing you know?
