It's unsettling Musk is going to control the biggest political megaphone of this country.
At least he's committed to transparency in moderation and the algorithm.
He was just sued for his lack of commitment.
You really believe he is “committed to transparency in moderation and the algorithm”?
I have some real estate on Mars for sale if you are interested.
Seems they just have a "system" or "human" problem because tons of spam accounts get reported but it seems to take a long time to get them removed.
Why do you think and attribute him to those achievements?
Are you? Tell us.
If you don't agree that people can be hurt with language, than you don't agree with content moderation in the first place so your objection is meaningless... those who don't agree that people can be hurt with language arguing about content moderation is like those who hate all cheese arguing over what we should put on the cheese plate.
I never said I disagree that language can be hurtful, and I never disagreed with content moderation (Both things, I have never said, you're putting words in my mouth).
All I'm saying is that guidelines and rules should be clear instead of hidden from public view cause then that leads to arbitrary enforcement, and clear bias.
The argument that making it public will make people "workaround it" is terrible, because thats the whole point of the rules. "Heres what you can do and can't do, if what you do doesn't violate the current rules, but shouldn't be done, then the rules need to be revised".
Why not nationalize it? Then at least the US constitution would apply, your first amendment rights would be protected, and it would truly be a public space.

We have that dude. Voice of America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_of_America
No one, atleast domestically gives a shit about it. Which is just beautiful! The most American thing ever.

Who needs pesky freedom of speech anyway.
Just regulate it, like we regulate other communication networks.
The phone company can't ban people for political speech from it's phone lines, and the government doesn't run into 1st amendment issues with that.
Let's change the law, so that our existing laws, are expanded to apply to social media companies.
Not necessarily. There is already a texas social media law, that does part of what the anti-censorship crowd wants. The appeals court upheld the law, and the supreme court has not struck it down yet.
That law, in 1 state alone, could have a huge effect on social media pretty soon, already.
