    I feel like simply knowing that X, formerly known as Twitter, paid for neo-Nazi content and promoted it is all I need to know about their content moderation policies.

    The law does seem like a generally good thing, but I doubt that anyone who would care hasn’t already abandoned the platform.

      I also care, nearly every vtuber in existence is on twitter and if the platform dies I greatly fear it would greatly fragment the scene

        Hasn’t that already happened? Why not use Threads or any Mastodon federated services that aren’t paying for and promoting neo-Nazi content?

          A ban on furry porn would make me uninstall.

          I barely ever posted anything, or engaged in any conversations. Since the “pay to troll” changes, the only reason I still check it from time to time, is because some artists are spread over different platforms, and some people spend time reposting links on 𝕏. The name, 𝕏, is also a good fit for that use, so why not.

    As someone who gets banned a lot, and often with no explanation, I like the fact that this law requires social media companies to explain their moderation decisions if requested.
