@clairebubblepop Exactly, money and policy have combined to hollow out everything of value, including the โmiddle classโ and they now point the finger at immigrants. Joe public lapping it up is the crazy bit!
@T2Rugby@MHJeffrey027 1995 SA vs Oz in Cape Town was an opening game for the agesโฆI remember being there and celebrating until the early morning hours ๐๐๐
@mrddmia Hey Mike, for me itโs about legitimising hate speech under the guise of freedom of speech in order sow divisions nice and deepโฆ.but I think maybe you know that ๐
@Imposter_Edits@gaughen Exactly this ๐ and why so many actually believe his rhetoric is completely beyond me. Iโd bet generally the lower IQ types as the MAGA attack on education continuesโฆ.
@ElephantSignal Not a fuck. He bought x under pretence of protecting free speech. In reality he bought x to legitimise hate speech in order to sow division. A divided world gives him and maintains the power base he craves. An old but proven method.
@glenn_tunes Definitely something in the water, itโs like grown men just canโt bring themselves to actually give a shit about anyone except themselves and those that look like them ๐คทโโ๏ธ
For You "Elon Saved Free Speech" White Knight Assholes: Read the New Terms of Service Released Today
X just updated their Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Here's what you agreed to:
AI TRAINING RIGHTS GRAB: Everything you post becomes training data for their AI models. Every thought, opinion, creative work. You're building their models for free. No compensation. No opt out.
PERPETUAL CONTENT LICENSE: They get a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute your content "for any purpose" in "any media now known or later developed." Forever. They can sell it. Give it to governments. Anything.
FORCED JURISDICTION: All disputes must be filed in Tarrant County, Texas. You waive the right to join class actions. If they wrong millions of users, you sue alone in THEIR court.
ARBITRARY TERMINATION: They can delete your account "for any other reason or no reason at our convenience." Years of content, connections, reputation. Gone. Zero due process.
$15,000 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: Access more than 1 million posts in 24 hours and you owe $15,000. Per million. Journalists and researchers investigating the platform face financial ruin.
GOVERNMENT DISCLOSURE: They reserve the right to hand your DMs, drafts, and entire history to governments based on what they "reasonably believe" is necessary.
ANTI-JAILBREAK CLAUSE: Testing their AI systems, exposing censorship mechanisms, or security research is now explicitly a Terms violation. They added "prompt engineering or injection" to prohibited conduct.
ONE YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: Discover they harmed you after 366 days? You "forever waive the right" to pursue any claim.
MAXIMUM LIABILITY $100: They destroy your business, reputation, or life through negligence? Maximum recovery: one hundred dollars.
Free speech platform. Sure.
@imnotbatmannn@XFactor079@joycloete I grew up as a privileged white guy in SA (the bad old days of the 70โs and 80โs) and I love this for so many different reasons ๐ช๐ฟ๐ช๐ฝ๐ช๐ฟ๐ฆ
