An important part that seems lost in this:

Yoel Roth, the company’s former head of moderation and safety who resigned in November after Musk’s takeover, posted Wednesday on the Twitter competitor Bluesky that “it’s insane to write ‘we have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation’ while also arbitrarily reinstating accounts that share” child sexual abuse material.

Roth fled his home late last year after Musk, in tweets to his more than 100 million followers, suggested Roth had encouraged children to access adult material online, a misrepresentation of Roth’s graduate-school writing that exposed him to online harassment and death threats.

“This guy blew up my life by saying I condone pedophilia, and then he turns around and does this,” Roth said on Bluesky.

Narcissistic pedo, doing narcissistic pedo things, because he’s a narcissistic pedo.

And these are the "elite" of our species? We have allowed hell to exist on Earth for far too long.

There really needs to be more awareness and actual punishment to prevent stochastic terrorism

Knowing the kind of people that are out there this guy is lucky to be alive after being marked like this...

A hit piece the lemmings will believe without a second thought.

Elon massively expanded CSAM-detection capabilities on Twitter and upped bans for it by 400% since he joined.

Fact - the unbanned user is an anti-pedophile activist who found the censored image on a news site, not knowing its original content, and posted it to solicit donations for the family.

Nothing could be detailed from the picture, but legally you are not allowed to post an image that was originally csam even if you turn it into a black jpeg. Both the original site and he were punished. Elon knew it was an innocent mistake, and in light of the good work he does against grooming in modern America, he unbanned him.

Then WaPo posted a hit article. Is it any coincidence that Washington Post is run by pedophiles?

NYT, CNN, Reuters, too? Oh wait, FOX must not have covered it.
