❗️X lost its 4th court battle today against a European user — a tech lecturer who filed a GDPR data request after getting shadowbanned. He just wanted to see his data.
X intimidated the plaintiff after their first loss by sending two lawyers to one of his lectures at Leiden University. X then asked the court to impose a gag order on him, claiming he was talking about the case during his lecture — which he wasn't.
Elon Musk promised more transparency on X in 2022, including on shadowbans — where an account isn't actually banned, but its posts are quietly suppressed and hidden from search results. X has been doing exactly the opposite ever since the ownership changed.
For example, X is the only tech giant exploiting a loophole against Out-of-Court Dispute Settlement Bodies in the EU — by simply not paying them. These are independent, certified entities designed to resolve disputes between users and platforms over suspensions, shadowbans, etc. Because X doesn't pay, all of these bodies refuse to take on X cases.
X users are the only major platform users in Europe who are effectively forced to sue in court just to get their rights.
@demo_creatie@demo_demo_nl@gijsrademaker Wat nou kippenhokken, de gemiddelde NL-er heeft 2.1 kamers tegen 1.6 gemiddelde in EU. Voila je woningtekort. We hebben het gewoon hartstikke goed hier met z'n allen.
@demo_creatie@demo_demo_nl@gijsrademaker Onzin. Het gaat om het woningtekort, daarvoor moet je alles meerekenen. Komt bij dat er in NL veel te veel eenpersoonshuishoudens zijn
@demo_creatie@demo_demo_nl@gijsrademaker Maar waarom zou je doorstroom mutaties (en vrije sector en koopwoningen) uitsluiten? Een woning is een woning. Het argument was dat asielzoekers een groot deel van starterswoningen ‘inpikken’, dat is dus onzin
Strange how the people shouting about cancel culture and freedom of speech don’t seem to be making a peep when TV shows that criticise Trump are actually cancelled. Maybe those people were just bigots who wanted to make racial slurs and joke about minorities all along, who knew!
The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.
A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.
No more political violence.

Ik post niet veel meer. Om redenen die ik heb uitgelegd.
Maar heel af en toe is social media ook nog een bron van medemenselijkheid. Dit deed me veel. En ik hoop u ook. Wat een prachtig mens. In hemelsnaam, geef elkaar ruimte.
