Ron Wright: "Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number. When the United Nations replied saying $6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end famine for the year, Musk never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for $44 Billion. You struggle and suffer because of people like him, not because your neighbor is an immigrant."

No, of course not.
It just means fascism isn’t a deal breaker for you.❞

Ridiculous argument, would you consider the likes of Francesca Albanese, Susan Abul Hawa as fascist collaborators or what (cos they are still active on X) ?! 🙄

Many of us in the #globalsouth have been using #twitter before 'Muskian takeover' happened and are still using it cos it's still used by majority of the activists in places like #pakistan #india #bangladesh #southasia and leaving X would turn it into something like TruthSocial or Bsky

@harib_murshidi @clintruin @cairobraga @RonSupportsYou @aral turning it into Truth Social would be actually good thing, making it niche and irrelevant. And maybe world would finally see what it is, without hiding rot in more pretty veil, and stop feeding and keeping alive this nazi-machine.

As I said earlier, people who are not Neo-Naziz or white supremacists are still there, here in #Pakistan the govt banned #X not because it had issues with Musk but dissident voices against the meddling of military in the elections, jailing people over trumped up charges !

Local activists, etc cannot just dump twitter on a whim when they don't have the local audience on that platform, and most of us here don't even have paid X accounts

@harib_murshidi @madargon @clintruin @cairobraga @RonSupportsYou @aral that is a fallacy that'll only make said activists vulnerable to governmental crackdown.

  • But that then again we've to admit that maybe tuey don't understandbthe fundamentals of OpSec, ComSec, InfoSec & ITsec at all…
    • Or docthese people also believe the marketing lies that 'WhatsApp has E2EE'?

They are only vulnerable if X or any other platform hands over their data to the govt(s) of any country. Proton handed data to the Swiss govt when an official request came in, X is like a 📢 and the people I am talking about are already under govt crackdown and only "mainstream social media platforms" has worked for them
