#Milwaukee County Circuit Judge #HannahDugan was arrested April 25 by federal authorities who are investigating whether she tried to help an #UndocumentedImmigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week, officials confirmed.
#FBI Director #KashPatel posted on the #Xitter about the arrest. He later deleted the post.
I mostly agree with this thread but regarding the tension between the protocols, working on and helping to grow one vs the other has an opportunity cost. It also might help lock in people to another system that when it goes evil, there will be a lot of problems with trying to move people again like we're having with #xitter. Eventually many might give up on social media or not believe any such network can remain good. It's very frustrating. #SocialWeb

Warum #CanselKiziltepe das #TeSSla #Swasticar allerdings ausgerechnet auf der #Naziplattform #Xitter als #NaziAuto bezeichnet hat ist wohl #Dialektik für Fortgeschrittene
*Sees the shiny, gold speech bubble*

*hides the "Promote" button*
*hides the speech bubble for good measure*
"Replycator" accounts rip content off other accounts and repost as their own while reply spamming, attempting to farm and agitate Western right-wing audiences, including in the UK, while originating in places like India. I present three examples among those I identified and analysed using OSINT.

@MichaelSpatz Und dass die Journalistys auch immer noch auf #Xitter rumhängen und sich von dessen Algorithmus vorgeben lassen, was #Nachrichten sind und was nicht... #journalismus #medienkrise #asozialeMedien
If the Swasticar makers are doing this, are they also manipulating readouts to prompt Tesla owners to bring in their cars for "servicing" when there is actually nothing wrong? Tesla has opened a big can of worms here.
This is DOGE and Donald Trump.

Tesla is facing a class action suit in California for hacking its car odometers to more quickly reach the limits of Tesla's vehicle warranty.
These are the geniuses Leon has also employed for DOGE. They are so smart that they decide to pull a fraud that is clearly measurable (and noticeable) and easily confirmed. Maybe this will put Tesla in the ground.

I assumed #xitter still did this but #DouglasMurray complained about not being able to stop the service from pushing crazy shit at him he didn't ask for, and #JoeRogan and #DaveSmith agreed.
That's not free speech. Only the #SocialWeb is capable of that, if we can learn to only moderate for harassment. #fediblockmeta
so JD Vance basically told the EU, he & Trump will destroy #NATO and sic #nuclear #bombs on them, if the union won’t let #Facebook #Meta #Google #Alphabet #Twitter #Xitter #Microsoft #OpenAI #Amazon #Apple and the Silicon Valley fascistocracy, traffic Europeans digitally and rob them of their lives & livelyhoods.

because let me be clear: they aren't trafficking our "data". they are trafficking us.
turning humans into tradeable assets is a cornerstone of #slavery
I've spent WAY too much time arguing with an anti-EV nob on #Lemmy over the last few days.
I just eyebrow raised over someone claiming removal of #Ghiblitheft #AI images on #Mastodon was censorship.
I think Fedi has "arrived" folks. The #trolls are here. They are small in numbers for sure, but given the echo chambers places like #Xitter must be now, and FB hopefully has less active users given how hate speech is now actively approved there, then some shitheads have gone looking for a fight with ethical people elsewhere.
Sigh.
Sie konnten das Getöse nicht verstehen. X war für sie genau wie es schon immer gewesen war.
Sie überschritten letztenendes zwar doch eine Grenze, aber das war lange nachdem sie realisiert hatten, dass die Grenze von denen gezogen worden war, die schon gegangen waren.
How fake news from Xitter made it to mainstream media.

Elon Musk, who already suggested Tesla invest in xAI, is now setting the stage for the public company under his control to grossly overpay for xAI, a private company under his control that just absorbed Twitter (X).

"A network of #Xitter accounts are pumping out thousands of posts about the Canadian economy and alleged support within Canada for U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threat."
The team’s findings … upend popular misconceptions that misinformation spreads because users lack the critical thinking skills necessary for discerning truth from falsehood or because their strong political beliefs skew their judgment."
