Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, granted subscription perks to designated terrorist groups and others barred from operating in the US, according to campaigners.
Cancel this idiot’s government contracts and prosecute him.
I’m not so sure. It solves a lot of issues, though they don’t effect the vast majority of us. It’d be great as a nationally operated utility for military purposes to more easily provide internet access and communication to navy vassels as well as operations near the poles. It’s also useful for very remote areas or mobile living. As a company operated for profit, sure I doubt it’ll survive if militaries don’t trust it, which I wouldn’t. As a utility operated for the sake of the utility it provides, it’s useful.
Twitter is burning money and struggling with getting advertisers, and “subscribers” are barely keeping them afloat. Of course they need to accept money where ever it comes from. Why is this a surprise?
That’s how a subscription works, people pay money for benefits. Not surprised that X isn’t looking into paying accounts since they are short staffed (AFAIK) and low on money. No surprise at all, clickbait title here.
Just because they might not have the capabilities to due this sort of dilligence, doesnt mean it wouldnt be news.
If they do business with entities that are under US sanctions, they are breaking the law and need to face consequences.
That they self inflicted their inability to abide by the law does not excuse it. Instead it makes it worse.
Taking money from Israel, i see? /S
Why the /s?
So they aren’t a terrorist government? Because they do seem to like to terrorise innocent civilians
Were they taking money from the CIA?
And if I understood correctly, they only take away the blue checkmark, and don’t close the accounts?
