Twitter’s New Head of Trust and Safety Offers to Partner with Controversial Anti-Trafficking Group

Operation Underground Railroad has a long track record of misrepresenting its work; now, it could be partnering with Elon Musk’s Twitter.

you get rid of the people at Twitter working to counter CSAM, fail to show up for a NCMEC roundtable, float partnering with Operation Underground Rescue of all people, and claim you care about child safety? FFS

I'm still furious about this. I assure you that the FBI still has agents investigating crimes against children. You know what institution has, according to all reports, significantly undermined its ability to counter sexual violence against kids in the last few months? It's Twitter!!!

Tesla Investors Want a New CEO Instead of Elon Musk

There is a growing chorus of voices saying that if the chief executive is busy at Twitter, he should put someone else in charge of the car company.

@sigmafactor @qjurecic No, he’s just angry that the government considers domestic (white) terror groups/violent conspiracy cults like QAnon to be a legitimate threat worth tracking.

@qjurecic also the people planning mass shootings. The terrorists who are taking guns to churches, gay bars, mosques etc DO use social media and do talk about it before hand.

@qjurecic we need stop treating taibbi like he’s some scamp of a writer: he’s an active disinformation activist in the pay of the right wing….and he’s fully aware of this arraignment.

@Trumptheloser @qjurecic He spent about a decade in Russia sexually assaulting women he had power over—of course he’s a right wing disinformation activist—imagine the kind of kompromat the FSB must have.

@qjurecic Yeah. I'm disappointed with how far Taibbi has fallen. It is as mysterious to me as Glenn Greenwald. It's as though the fact that one side of the political spectrum is indeed worse than the other just broke their minds and all they can do is contort themselves into ever-bigger pretzels to justify yelling "both sides are bad!"

@qjurecic the fact that they are surprised by this shows how artful Taibbi et al have become with their self deception. Of course the FBI monitors tweets, facebook posts, the whole shebang, it’s part of the mission statement of the FBI to protect civil rights, as there are forms of speech which the Supreme Court has ruled are not protected by the Constitution - see Imminent lawlessness test established by Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) decision. Tweets weren’t overtly marked satire!

@qjurecic Eight years ago ISIS did most of their recruitment online, and today right-wing terrorists do the same. It’s incredible how high Taibbi is on his own supply - he still thinks he is some badass truth-telling rebel, a modern Hunter S. Thompson. I suppose he is somewhat, just with all of the misogyny and none of the talent.
