(+) Yeah! (+)

Especially when it can be up on the Internet for everyone to immediately see.

welp

You can only hope he's not a pediatrician.

Tbf, I needed to read it again how you wanted me too before seeing it as anything other than passive aggressive sarcasm. But that's my whole thing.

The sarcasm is not hard to figure out.

But it's literally the case of "why would you say that specifically"?

It's ridiculous that people have bought into the lie that there ever was a cp issue on twitter to begin with, and that Musk has done anything about "the problem".

Like, the site has been freely open for everyone to view. How do you just believe this type of bullshit.

Yeah. Im definitely not defending against it being dumb to put on the internet.

There have been multiple articles over multiple years about Twitter's CP problem, though, going all the way back to a guardian article in 2012.

I hate both of these people.

I would assume he's implying that Elon Musk's new twitter rules has made it much harder to find child porn on twitter (didn't realize it was easy before, but I don't have a big brain like JP) and that people criticizing Elon are actually upset about that.

Not sure news articles existing about something demonstrates the existence of a problem. We can point to the trans scare for instance, obviously.

What's your justification/argument for claiming reporting on the issue for a decade, including major outlets like the guardian and Forbes, is all a big lie other than "because I want it to be so"?

I guess this means it's a fact that systemic racism, police shootings, economic inequality, misogyny, xenophobia, regulatory capture, etc are all huge issues because they've been reported on by major outlets for a decade.

We also saw major news articles published on all kinds of shit like the tide pod challenge that were never real. Legacy media outlets still pander to an audience and that audience is growing older and the more conservative it skews the more detached from reality they get.

Been on Twitter for like 13 years now and have never once seen cp.
