Another fun/insane anecdote from the peak-woke era was when an employee of ours tried to get our terms of service amended such that any organization disliked by the SPLC would be banned from using our software. What a racket. All of it.
NEWS: Two years ago, an internal document from the Center for Countering Digital Hate listed "K*ll Musk's Twitter" and "Trigger EU & UK regulatory action" as annual priorities.
CCDH was co-founded by Morgan McSweeney, who later became UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff.
This week, Starmer threatened to remove X's right to self regulate.
UK regulator Ofcom opened a formal investigation into X over Grok.
Ofcom can fine X up to 10% of its worldwide revenue or block X in the UK entirely.
Starmer also announced this week a UK ban on under 16s using social media including X by spring 2027.
The 2024 documents were published by journalists Paul Thacker and Matt Taibbi.

Best part? They've been charged in the Middle District of Alabama!
They're SCREWED! 🔥
SPLC has been hit with SIX counts of wirefraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The welfare state has been more destructive to the black family than slavery just by restructuring the incentives.
In 1960, nearly a century after emancipation, only about 22% of black children grew up in single-parent households.
By 1990, after the Great Society welfare expansions, that number had more than tripled.
Thomas Sowell has long shown this wasn’t the lingering shadow of slavery or some vague “legacy.”
The destruction of the black family was the direct result of welfare policies that subsidized single motherhood and penalized marriage.
The incentives changed, and family structure collapsed accordingly.
