X, the social media platform owned by Trump megadonor Elon Musk, is promoting Trump campaign-curated content to all U.S. users, regardless of whether they have opted out of Trump-related content.
On the platform formerly known as Twitter, banner ads for the Trump campaign donning the #Trump2024 tag appear for all U.S. users, even those who’ve blocked words, topics, and hashtags related to the candidate or his campaign or muted the advertiser.
Additionally, the #MAGA tag displays an edited image of the former president from his attempted assassination and the #Trump2024 hashtag displays an American flag.
It is unclear whether the Trump campaign paid for the images on the #Trump2024 and #MAGA tags, though an advertisement for the tag on the site’s trending page reads “Promoted by Team Trump.” As Mashable noted, it is the first time the platform has enabled the image feature to promote a specific political candidate.
Clicking the Trump2024 tag also prompts American flag graphics to flood the screen.
If you still have a Twitter account, you are a piece of shit. That goes for everyone of you
Most of the world doesn’t know or care about US politics. X is a hellish platform though that does crack on pro-Palestinian users.
If you don’t care about US politics then don’t use an American Nazi’s website
Way ahead of you. I got banned from Twitter before Elon even bought it for a joke on the biased representation of Arabs in media. It has gotten worse since then.
I don’t ever use it to think to delete it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
👍
i got rid of mine shortly after he officially owned it but i used to follow a lot of certain people on nitter for a long time but the past year or so ive even been doing that less and less because i don’t care about it anymore
A bit harsh I think
Nah it’s fine
I should change my name to INHALE_BEEF
It’s really not.
Damn I just got back from twitter… It really changed in the past month it’s all political stuff and I never used twitter to research politics I’m not even American I’m a Canuck but maybe that is close enough.
Moral of the story: I agree with you
It really has changed. I noticed it a few months back. Subtle rightwing and like, morbid “shock” content and even some animal abuse started popping up more and more. I just gradually started using it less and less, it was pretty obvious what was going on.
I still have a Twitter account. I mostly watch the cess pit argue with each other and to keep up with the latest misinformation.
But even that is growing tiresome.
