X has become a for-profit digital insane asylum and there\u2019s no need to waste European taxpayers\u2019 cash regulating it<\/strong><\/p>\n

The American tech broligarchy is fighting with Brussels Euligarchs again. When can they all just blast off to Mars already?<\/p>\n

Brussels fined multi-billionaire tech titan Elon Musk’s social media platform X €120 million for failing to comply with its Digital Services Act. Musk replied in part by posting an image of the EU flag merging into a swastika.<\/p>\n

Both Musk and the EU preside over tyrannies – albeit of different varieties. This makes it difficult to pick a side.<\/p>\n

It pains me to say it, but X has become a tyranny of idiocy.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, I was optimistic when Musk bought the social media platform and vowed to turn it into a global town square of free and unfettered debate. Instead, it’s turned into a dumpster fire.<\/p>\n

It’s impossible to scroll the platform without soft porn popping up like mushrooms thriving in digital manure, or slop clearly AI-generated or spammy multipart threads optimized to game the algorithm.<\/p>\n

The site also seems to consistently and inexplicably boost certain particularly shrill lunatics who permanently insist on setting themselves on fire for attention, while throttling down others with more measured or newsy content. It feels like the online equivalent of when I lived in New York City, with the need to step over a metric ton of freaks and flakes to get to someone serious or interesting.<\/p>\n

The place seems to disproportionately attract middle-aged divorced men coming off like 12-year old jerks, ostensibly because they’ve been “freed”<\/em> from both their wives and polite society. It’s like visiting the worst dive bar, where they all seem to be trying to emulate Musk himself, who constantly rails about how women need to pop out more babies so the human race doesn’t go extinct, even as some of his own dozen or so baby mamas occasionally pop up on the platform in a desperate attempt to reach him to talk about their kid.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk wants to abolish the EU. He has a point<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Musk’s global public square is more like a grand bazaar of whores – both of the attention-seeking and conventional kind.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to pay for a blue check mark, handing over your personal and payment info to Musk, then you’re basically treated like a spam account. So much for privacy.<\/p>\n

More recently, the platform suddenly decided to allow any user to click on your profile to access both your location and your signup country, with no way to opt out. Some argue that this helps to weed out foreign propaganda accounts. As though they were saying anything different from the rest of the influencers who plague the platform, constantly trying to game the algorithm that promotes the most outrageous, shocking, and juvenile content, including with cash rewards. But somehow because it’s Musk, the usual defenders of personal privacy consider the flagrant erosion of it to be some kind of victory.<\/p>\n

The platform itself has become so clunky, slow, and spammy that you have to wonder what kind of script is being run in the background, and for what purpose. Sorry if I don’t trust the American tech bros as far as I can throw them. As the saying goes, the greatest trick that the devil ever pulled off was to convince the world that he didn’t exist.<\/p>\n

But we’ve seen recently how American private tech companies have colluded<\/a> with Israeli tech counterparts, founded by electronic surveillance Unit 8200 operatives, to literally run the US surveillance state. Homeland Security even touted its partnership<\/a> with an Israeli company backed by Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli PM and spymaster Ehud Barak. Palantir honed its spying for Israel in Gaza<\/a>, while scoring contracts<\/a> for continued spying on citizens at home.<\/p>\n

EU\u2019s X fine a \u2018violent attack\u2019 on free speech \u2013 French party leader<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier this year, Musk and Palantir cut a deal<\/a> to collaborate on artificial intelligence and data. Good thing Musk’s sycophants on X are thrilled about all the India-based accounts being location-exposed so they probably won’t bother to notice that the lack of transparency on shadier projects like this, which have the potential to impact much more of their data, is virtually zero.<\/p>\n

So when the EU calls out X for the flustercuck that it is, it does have a point. Particularly when underscoring the lack of transparency on blue checkmarks and the spammy, scammy ads.<\/p>\n

Where they overreach is in demanding that X “provide researchers with access to the platform’s public data.”<\/em> Look, who cares – go wade into the swamp and get it yourself. Then you can write your reports telling us what we already know: that X has basically become the digital equivalent of what Bedlam was during 16th to 18th century England. We don’t need to waste taxpayer cash on that. Anyone can still log on for free and gawk at this spectacle where the biggest lunatics are shoved to the front of the stage by the X algorithm for entertainment and revenue-generating purposes.<\/p>\n

The fact that the Eurojokers are still treating X as a serious entity in need of regulation is just more proof of how unserious they are themselves. Can’t they just ignore it like the rest of us do? Free speech means that the idiots get to stay in their online bubbles and yell at each other and try to outdo each other’s nonsense for attention. Let them. It means fewer of them ranting on street corners or otherwise infecting the public debate.<\/p>\n

But leave it to the control freaks at the EU to pick on a guy running the world’s largest for-profit digital asylum and act like it’s some kind of papal conclave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
