Will this cause all of the right wing bots to leave Twitter?
Probably not
You can still be a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, bootlicking piece of shit as long as you use the correct names and pronouns.
Cant wait for the next episode of Knowledge Fight. Alex Jones has already been going through a bizarre internal tug of war between his desire to be a sycophantic little lap dog to Elon and the fact that Elon directly represents everything that Jones has ranted against for 30 years.
Not that Alex Jones even notices his own hypocrisy anymore, but even his audience can't totally ignore this pathetic shit
I wonder if this has anything to do with Elon's trans daughter?
bold of you to assume elon cares about his children
I'd likely put that in the category of "more than he cares about his users but less than he cares about his next joint"
I don't think I made any such claim.
Likely not given that she’s why he went on his transphobia kick
Though actually we are around the point most queer related disownings end for them.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, updated its abuse and harassment rules to revive regulations around content that misgenders or deadnames individuals.
The quiet update comes less than a year after the platform, under Musk’s ownership, revoked its ban on content that uses a transgender person’s name before they transitioned — known as a deadname — or purposefully used the wrong gender for someone.
The update to X’s abuse and harassment rules was first reported by Ars Technica.
The updated rules state X “will reduce the visibility of posts that purposefully use different pronouns to address someone other than what that person uses for themselves, or that use a previous name that someone no longer goes by as part of their transition.”
Jenni Olson, GLAAD’s senior director of social media safety, told Ars Technica the update is a positive move but is still a step back from stronger ban Twitter previously had in place.
GLAAD had pushed back strongly on the platform’s decision to remove its initial policy against deadnaming and misgendering.
The original article contains 256 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 32%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter…
Woah, woah, woah, hold on a minute there, bot. The regulations have been updated about deadnaming, okay?
Good bot
It lasted all of like 1/3 of a mooch
