Reminder: Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has defended child pornography, saying that stopping it is "gatekeeping".

Thanks, John Google.

It wasn't so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.

That's definitely an opinion. A wrong one, but an opinion.

[-] null@lemmy.org 2 points 1 week ago

That's fine and all, but the same people saying Sweeney defended pedophilia are close to if not the same people who say you're defending pedophiles if you don't like payment processors strong-arming porn off of a bunch of different platforms. This is not an accusation against you.

I've literally never heard that claim until just now.

[-] null@lemmy.org 4 points 1 week ago

That's not surprising. There aren't a lot of people rising up to defend the porn games that got delisted on sites like itch. Don't worry, once all the porn is gone you'll be hearing people saying the same thing to you when you argue against using facial recognition to shitpost on the internet. Gotta protect the kids!

Right wingers? You mean a nazi? A nazi took twitter that was traditionally not a political platform. It was not left wing. Google says a study showed that it was algorithmicly right leaning in terms of content.

Your comment is a load of bollocks.

Sorry to say.

reality has a well known left-wing bias

I'm going to selectively edit my post to make it easier for you to read and not get distracted from the point of what I was saying.

It wasn’t so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform ~~that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.~~

And i am going to point out that i responded to the part of your comment that i had a problem with.

I don't know anything about the "point of your post" so i can't comment.

But i would say that after brief google search, if Tim Sweeney wants to defend AIs making deepfake porn then X is 100% thr best platform to do it on. 🙄
