IBM, also one of X’s biggest advertisers, announced it would stop advertising on X Thursday. The company made the decision in response to a report by liberal watchdog Media Matters that found both IBM and Apple’s ads running alongside hate speech. Musk called Media Matters an “evil organization” in response.
Whoever’s job it is to keep a dart gun trained on him, you might want to make sure it’s loaded. Dude’s crackin’.
They’ve admitted it a lot. Where are you getting that disinformation?
Well trying to find an actual statement is more difficult than I remember, but that could partially be due to Google ongoing enshittification. I did find this in a TIME article about the “IBM and the Holocaust” book from 2001:
Of course, not everyone agrees with Seltzer’s assessment — least of all IBM. Last week, the company released a statement: “If this book points to new and verifiable information that advances understanding of this tragic era, IBM will examine it and ask that appropriate scholars do the same.” But company spokespeople insist that Black’s allegations are not new, that historians have long been aware that the Nazis used IBM’s tabulating machines. And, spokespeople insist, the company is paying for its mistakes: IBM Germany, formerly Dehomag, has already paid into Germany’s government-sponsored initiative to compensate citizens forced to work for the Nazis.
I thought there was a lot more public acknowledgement though, and it’s hard to find. So - 50%?
It’s an interesting twist. Sherlock seems designed to use legal data collection and digital advertising technologies — beloved by Big Tech and online media — to target people for government-level espionage. Other spyware, such as NSO Group’s Pegasus or Cytrox’s Predator and Alien, tends to be more precisely targeted.
So . . . It’s just “digital customer engagement” and all the other euphemisms for online stalking, it’s just that the intent is pre-stated to be nefarious. Hm.
“Do you know who I am” is also what the wide-stance republiQan said when he was arrested.
If you’re looking for a good show to binge with someone, it works well. Lots of fun guest stars and guaranteed explosions. It’s not a science documentary, but it’s not garbage reality television, either. Just fun.
Yes how can we horrify children
Wired. lol.
This is getting posted a lot which is too bad because it’s worse than useless.
Do people not understand how technically useless 80% of users are? They CAN NOT REMEMBER THEIR PASSWORDS. (No, they didn’t write them down. Password management software? lol.)
I’m saying the height of their technical ability is to remember their password. And we want them to switch platforms, away from a fascist right-wing brainwashing troll factory to- what is it called again?
Yeah. It needs a guide with this title, but actually useful. Well-written, with the context that people reading it are already well above and beyond in making an effort.
Why are so many people still on Xitter? I have a fucking idea.
Member in the 2016 RNC when Rude came out and lost his goddamned mind in front of the world for trump? Obviously he was a piece of shit then for manipulating the SDNY FBI to “re-open” the hEr EmAiLs probe 2 days before the election, but I still was like wtf dude, what happened to you. (Spoiler: Scotch and greed is a helluva drugs.)
To show how the rich and powerful don’t have to play by the rules. Like us peasants do.
It definitely is. This is just watching what happens when republiQans blow up your society (in this case: schools).
Because they were socialist for, like, ten minutes? Then went straight to totalitarianism?
Funny story . . .
It can be two things.
Okay but it’s the first thing people will think. So, you’ll likely always be defending it. Just 2¢.
I hate Record Labels.
Bad news for 63%
Deep cuts, yo!
Typically that’s called manslaughter
