So... someone leaked a Russian propagandist's data on Twitter (Dougan leaks), and Twitter removed it within 24h... but women have to sue until they reach the Supreme Court to have nudes removed?
What?

@havvyhh2 The core problem remains. As long as social media remains privately owned, you will always be subject to their rules and their whims. Elon Musk simply showed what it was like when the tables were turned on progressives. The next owner could be better, could be worse also.
@Abazigal @havvyhh2 Privately owned could work if there were laws and regulations in effect instead of the current "do as you please" attitude from politicians visavi socmedia.
Sure, Twitter could still randomly ban people just because they poked fun at Elon, but if they'd be subject to removing nudes/LLMCSAM or face serious fines/jail time they'd remove the nudes/LLMCSAM.
@grepe @Abazigal @havvyhh2 Decentralized socmedia's not safe from regulation/centralized control.
E.g. how UK forums closed down after the age verification scheme while corpo socmedia just added leaky verification; how queer.af shut down after the Taliban returned to power; how mastodon.social kinda sets the fedi tone.
Getting people off of unregulated corpo socmedia and onto the decentralized seems harder than influencing politicians/law (Italy just fined Meta a hefty sum).
@Mabande @grepe @Abazigal ...it seems to all circle back to "things can work if there are some enforceable, clear rules" about what can/ cannot be done. That applies widely....capitalism, banking, socmedia, etc...the push by some parties to always "deregulate" everything is naive, maybe just plain stupid. And the playing field is always changing, so the rules aren't "once and done", has to be maintained, updated. And that can be daunting tsk...doable, but.
@campuscodi ....some sort of 'purge' seems to be needed.....for the good of humanity....
