Here is the third post in my feed right now:
And here is Elon Musk (couple days ago) Explaining why @TommyLucchese gets nothing but porn and Hitler in his twitterfeed.
Why O why you would claim “Full of porn in the main feeds.” is anyone’s guess. My guess is you are completely and totally fabricating stuff and passing it off as fact.
Seems like a strange way to spend your spare time,
and a totally stupid way to base your political beliefs and worldviews.
This is sad. Twitter is a disaster. How can you even pretend.
To be fair, you know that was not the real issue. Good on Musk for not providing that government with a sacrificial goat to put in jail.
There is an upside to all of this:
Every dollar that these dudes invested is currently worth twenty cents lol. Musk basically fired the GDP of Belize into the sun.
Perhaps if someone spends their time on X searching for porn or extremist political views, they are more likely to find them?
I will never know personally because I have no intention of signing up to x.
Say, maybe that would solve the problems some people keep having with X.
Yes but it also jumps on my feed without searching for it. My working theory is that the algorithm doesn’t have a lot of quality post to recommend so it try’s it’s best to find anything remotely close.
So for example, if I am interacting with posts about the Trump lying about crowd size… some who games the system with porn bots can just make a tweet saying “Am I lying about my size?” But that tweet is an OF girl trying to get more clicks… for example.
The algorithm isn’t very good… not on YouTube’s level. But I suspect it doesn’t have a lot of quality tweets to work with either.
Somehow I neglectd to include this in my last post.
It explains why you get all Hitler and Porn
and why no one else does.
(Gee I think I’ll go on the internet and claim I saw a purple flying cow, seems like a weird way to spend one’s time.)
I keep getting anti Trump videos in my YouTube, so maybe it’s the direction of the bias. There is very little in my viewing history that would make them think I wanted to watch that. Once I find I have opened such a post, I go to delete it from my history so it won’t use that as an excuse to send me more.
Here’s the third post on my Twitterfeed right now
I originally found @ChivalryGuild while looking for the journal of Arthurian studies ( @Arthuriana_Jrnl) Here’s their latest tweet.
Hmm Hitler and porn?
My goodness. That certainly is very very exciting about the medieval women exhibit.
Have to disagree, sure I have looked at porn online (who hasnt) but do not interact with porn related X accounts and feed is full of crappy only fans tweets and porn bots along with all sorts of other unrelated crap.
I am not saying X is filling my feed with explicit material but the porn bots are very prevalent.
The site became quantitatively more racist and anti-Semitic, etc. after Musk took over.. If you cut down on moderation by about 50%, as Musk did, you’re going to get more ■■■■■■■■■■ It’s a justifiable choice, but we don’t need to pretend there are no consequences.
The irony: it’s not even the reason I stopped using Twitter. The platform always had plenty of ■■■■■■ neighborhoods and terrible, hateful people of all types, even if it got worse under Musk. Also, Musk made X’s porn policy clear, which was probably an improvement, even if it led to more pornography.
It’s more the way he took a “If it ain’t broke, break it” approach to the site’s features and “gestalt.”
I was 100% ready to stay: I’m sure I use plenty of other products and services provided by people I disagree with or don’t like.
I believe the social network platforms have access you your cookie data the same way the ad sites do.
Side story - we don’t have alexa or any voice activated home system. But if our laptops are open and we discuss something as a family, someone inevitably starts getting ads related to that conversation.
It’s hardly just me. Chase just stopped advertising on Twitter a couple of weeks ago because their ads kept popping up under bigoted posts, and they were one of the few big companies left on there.
Two years ago, every major company in the world and every media outlet advertised on Twitter. Now it’s scam crypto, scam AI, OnlyFans and t-shirt printers and occasionally just dudes being super racist. And I turn off all of ad tracking on everything, so I know that I’m getting the vanilla ad experience.
You shouldn’t use those things. They are eavesdropping and recording everything you say and you signed away all of your privacy in the T&C. Amazon also shares your Ring footage with cops without your permission or your knowledge, and a child can hack wireless cameras. Easier than an Android.
It’s not paranoia to be this paranoid now. Roombas map your house out and send that information back to corporate for ???.
No one likes to admit it, but even in the Wild West forum days, all of the best ones were the most heavily moderated. Hell, this forum was the most heavily moderated forum I’ve ever seen and it was also the only political forum in the world where you had to debate rationally and those two things are directly related.
We don’t have those devices. Our computers or phones are listening.
Not on my laptop of phone. I have all that crap locked down. Plus its the same on my work-laptop which is as pure as the driven snow.
Actively Creepy
In a pitch deck to prospective customers, one of Facebook’s alleged marketing partners explained how it listens to users’ smartphone microphones and advertises to them accordingly.As 404 Media reports based on documents leaked to its reporters, the TV and radio news giant Cox Media Group (CMG) claims that its so-called “Active Listening” software uses artificial intelligence to “capture real-time intent data by listening to our conversations.”
“Advertisers can pair this voice-data with behavioral data to target in-market consumers,” the deck continues.
In the same slideshow, CMG counted Facebook, Google, and Amazon as clients, though it didn’t specify whether they were involved in the “Active Listening” service. After 404 reached out to Google about its partnership, the tech giant removed the media group from the site for its “Partners Program.”
A Meta spokesperson also pushed back in a statement, saying that CMG was a general partner, not a partner in the program advertised in the deck. . . .
Phew good thing this wasn’t Twitter or Donald Trump doing it.
If they had done it it would be front page news everywhere.
