Elon Musk Has Fired Most Of Twitter’s ‘Election Integrity’ Team

summit.news...

Twitter/X owner Elon Musk has fired most of a team at Twitter that was supposedly in charge of maintaining ‘election integrity’, stating that in reality they were doing the exact opposite.

Musk commented on a post from X News Daily, noting that the head of the team was fired, stating “Oh you mean the “Election Integrity” Team that was undermining election integrity? Yeah, they’re gone

According to reports some of the U.S. election integrity team were based in Dublin.

A recent blog post with regards to election integrity states “You may not use X’s services for the purpose of manipulating or interfering in elections or other civic processes, such as posting or sharing content that may suppress participation, mislead people about when, where, or how to participate in a civic process, or lead to offline violence during an election.”

It adds that “Any attempt to undermine the integrity of civic participation undermines our core tenets of freedom of expression and as a result, we will apply labels to violative posts informing users that the content is misleading.”

It appears that Musk believed the election integrity team were promoting the opposite of integrity at X.

Musk has commented further and here is an article from the Guardian

www.theguardian.com...

Overnight Musk appeared to give his first reaction to EU claims that X had the highest ratio of disinformation of the large social media platforms with a picture of three penguins bearing the logos of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube saluting another penguin bearing the X logo.

Twitter under Elon Musk doesn't usually disappoint me. Musk has decided to fire a lot of his staff and especially moderators/arbiters of truth who, under the old regime, were censoring and silencing pretty much everyone who was expressing views the establishment didn't approve of and vehemently opposed.

You couldn't criticise the covid policies such as masks and lockdowns or vaccine damages because of misinformation rules. You couldn't express opinions that an election was stolen for the same reason. You couldn't even state basic biological facts so not to offend the woke mob and the trans community.

Lately Twitter has come under criticisms again because they allegedly promote misinformation and disinformation...It won't be long until the establishment goes after Twitter just as the UK Government decided to go after Rumble.

Meanwhile, Musk posted a link to a video earlier this week that highlights Fauci and others making false claims about the COVID 19 vaccine

By the way I have plenty of topics for discussion. And I know that many of them upset the establishment but they're very legitimate topics for discussion.

I will comment for once more on the attempts made by governments to control twitter on the basis of them spreading misinformation and disinformation and 'extreme' views. For example arguing on the platform vaccines could potentially cause serious harms or death (was seen as misinformation). YouTube has a covid misinformation policy and you can't even discuss harms and deaths from the vaccine. In case you do then you risk strikes or getting banned from the platform.

Still the establishment is trying to push the same debunked narratives as before. One must have a willingness to be ignorant to believe them.

Elon Musk should be working to make sure his platform is woke-free and decent. These are related matters as the less woke a platform is the more likely is to be decent and normal. He has to make sure he fires all the woke admin and moderators who brought the platform to complete disrepute.

The question is, if you were Elon Musk would you have fired all these role employees, moderators, and arbiters of truth?

I mean, if it was me, without a second thought! No fascistoids in my business! (Suppose I had one)

Are you aware how many people were fired by Musk?

GO ELON!

F^ck1n Orwellian Ministry of Truth, is what that was.
Now they need to get rid of all these overopinionated pundits on these "news" shows.
This nation is seriously overdosed on "popular opinion" right now and needs a shot of epinephrine.

He can't make it "woke free" and to enforce that would defeat the purpose, but if you simply remove the ability to report anything unless it's broken a law, then this thing will sort itself out over time.
Wokeism is progressive in the medical sense of the word.
Half these people just fall in line bc they're scared of getting tattled on, then eventually they start half heartedly sharing the woke material, then since they're seeing it all the time and sharing it, they kinda start believing some of it.
Same reason why most people will buy a product if they see 5 ads for it.
But if you ensure that people can call BS and shout it down, then the opposition is visible, and people can't say
"everyone believes this so you're wrong" and the peer pressure doesn't work so well anymore.

Having said that, I do LOVE that he made the term "Cisgender" hate speech. It's apt and funny, but in the long run I think getting rid of the extra reporting options for Tweets and comments is gonna be the more effective option. But I have no idea what he's even changed, if anything.
I stopped using Twitter years ago.

When I said woke-free I meant to remove all those individuals i.e content moderators and arbiters of truth who were censoring free speech. And he did it to a large degree (most of them have gone either fired or left). Those woke lunatics thought it was ok and constitutional to ban accounts on the basis of hate speech, extremism, and misinformation, that have invented themselves given their complete confusion and stupidity.

As a result accounts were banned for stating there are only two genders or that vaccines can harm or kill people or that lockdowns may have been catastrophic, or that an election was stolen...

This is an interesting thread... somewhat.

What's your point though?

I did indeed read it. I did indeed not get the point. Perhaps I'm a bit thick. Mayhap I'm completely stupid.
For certainty this thread has a point. It evades me nonetheless.
Here's my 2 cents...

Elon has power (yar!)
Elon acquires company
Elon break company
Elon fix company
Elon expose election shenanigans
People hate Elon
Elon say: "tuff cookies"
People hate Elon moar!
Elon say: "I dun currr"
Media say: "Elon baaad v"
Elon say: bite me

That sum it up?

a reply to: Kreeate

That some it up?

No you failed at truth by not putting the word fake in front of media.

Fair enough... but I failed even worse in the sense that I didn't say "sum it up" as opposed to my atrocious "some it up".

I'll go jump off a cliff now.

EDIT: Turns out I could edit my OP to your quote. Still... it burns like the clap in the 60's

hope he got rid of all the paid phonies and liars that were causing and helping real election fraud and cheats

wonder if some there were part of the gov 1st amend censoring
