You didn't address what I said and how Media Matters crafted those screenshots.

X placed the ads next to hate speech. It matters to the advertiser that they did that in some circumstance. They already knew that it doesn't do it in every circumstance (assuming they went to the bother of looking at their own ad at least once). Which is what Media Matters showed them.

What makes you not think I understand how the internet/web works.

X placed the ads next to hate speech.

But San Francisco-based X says in its complaint filed in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, that Media Matters “knowingly and maliciously” portrayed ads next to hateful material “as if they were what typical X users experience on the platform.”

X's complaint claims that Media Matters manipulated algorithms on the platform to create images of advertisers' paid posts next to racist, incendiary content. The juxtapositions, according to the complaint, were "manufactured, inorganic and extraordinarily rare."

You are an ally to evil.

Yes i knew Musk is suing.

X still placed the ads next to hate speech.

X's complaint claims that Media Matters manipulated algorithms on the platform to create images of advertisers' paid posts next to racist, incendiary content. The juxtapositions, according to the complaint, were "manufactured, inorganic and extraordinarily rare."

I can't see that that matters. If it can be manufactured it can be captured and exploited by competitors. It doesn't matter if it's rare unless it doesn't happen.

Media matters showed that it does.

You are an ally to evil.

I can't see that that matters.

Of course not. As you can not see anything that does not fit your narrative. As you are a transparent liar acting in bad faith.

As you can not see anything that does not fit your narrative.

X put high profile advertisers ads amongst hate speech.

That's the narrative. And it's fact.

As you are a transparent liar acting in bad faith.

Oh, the irony.

[–]Questionable 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

That's not how facts work.

[–]ActuallyNot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Oh ... do tell.

Media Matters showed undoctored screenshots of the ads against antisemitic hate speech.

On X. And you're saying its not a fact that X put them there?

Okay. Why don't you go live in your little insane world, and leave logic and facts to your betters.

[–]Questionable 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

You clearly assume too much. On every aspect of every topic you fail to grasp, and in every way. That, or again, you are a liar.

Nope, its pretty clear that you are the one arguing in bad faith. All you did was repeat the same lie over and over. Goebbels would be proud of you!

[–]Questionable 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I'm sorry. You are going to have to be specific on your accusations of lying. Which lie have I repeated over and over again?

[–]xoenix 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It matters to the advertiser that they did that in some circumstance.

No it doesn't. It doesn't matter to anyone.

[–]ActuallyNot 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They pulled the ads, and most of them have gone silent on x, and instead have moved their social media teams to threads.

So it appears to have mattered to then to me. What makes you think it didn't matter?
