    It wasn’t an organic thing and it’ll be interesting to see if it goes to court.

    it was completely organic. no outside-twitter resources were used to achieve the result - they literally used twitter’s tools and proved it could happen readily. That’s all advertisers need to see to bug the fuck out.

      We have different definitions of organic. I think the fact that only they saw some of the pairings shows it’s something no legitimate user did.

      You don’t have to modify a lawn mower to flip it upside down and throw cats in it my friend.

        no you just have to be a psychopath to suggest it.

        did they break twitter, inject code, falsify user records, hack anything? No.

        They used the service as it’s intended - picked some people and brands to follow then refreshed their feed. Buddy, that’s as organic as manure - and even if it somehow was gamed, dozens of other instances of hate shit being positioned aside brands THAT RIGHTFULLY DON’T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH HATE SHIT have been posted - it’s not just media matters.

        it’s not just the ADL’s criticism.

        GET IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING MELON - Musk’s the problem. Your refusal to see the obvious is sad.

          Ah. Miss the point and make a stupid medical diagnosis? Not the best start. I’ll get back to this.

          They used the service as it’s intended - picked some people and brands to follow then refreshed their feed.

          If it’s organic why did nobody else see the combo? They literally behaved in a way no other user has, and it was contrived to find edge cases in the ad service. It’s not organic use.

          We’re talking about facts and definitions. There’s no reason for you to be this worked up, angry or vile to other people.

            yeah suggesting murdering animals as a method to defend free speech was you’re weird tactic mate, not mine.

            So you’re suggesting without the ‘contrived’ method of selecting people to follow, which is part of twitter’s core features, that no one would see these issues?

            Because that’s a lie. It’s happened to hundreds of users. And seeing awful shit on twitter is getting more regular because of Musk’s idiotic reversal on content moderation. https://time.com/6295711/twitters-hate-content-advertisers/

            You literally don’t know what you’re talking about or are being intentionally disingenous - it’s gross and sad. Fuck off with your bullshit, you defend nazis and their proponents - what the fuck is wrong with you?

            And how dare you criticize anyone for getting worked up about your nazi apologist bullshit, you suggested mowing cats, sicko.

        If your lawnmower is faulty and you find out after a couple of uses, I don’t claim it only counts if the lawnmower was used by each person once.

          When nobody has a problem with your millions of mowers except one guy, we usually ask what’s wrong with the guy rather than the mower.
