Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”

          Everyday there is some “tech news” about X. These are not tech news anymore. How is a trans film promotion tech news? Where is the technology in this? This is just drama news at this point.

              That’s right. I think of tech news to be about the technology not about some political, racist, transphobic, etc… things. If it was actualy about tech then so be it but this ain’t it chief.

      And also can we not mention the things they want mentioned on the internet?

      Let’s spread the hashtag to multiple websites… that’ll prevent it from trending!
