Take a look at the closed caption CC on this X video. It is generated, and not embedded. You can see that if you click on the video. Key phrases are getting censored and not shown in CC to either change the message or simply omit it.

Messages get manipulated all the time. Never put your whole trust in a person. More than one source is better.

This is an example of where I believe there is human intervention and not AI censoring. With 3.5 million views, I don't know why this hasn't been "corrected". Curious if the comments call this out, but those depending on using CC should be very careful about the messages they are receiving whether manipulated or omitted.

Maybe it is not perceived as important (enough).

Musk's also in trouble regarding the environmental impact caused by his numerous Star link/spaceX launches, the radiation emitted by the satellites and the debris after re-entering, yet (of course): "... Elon Musk is suing..." - https://patriciaburke.substack.com/p/environmental-impacts-of-satellites

what a lovely environment will we leave for the children :-((

Not meaning to disparage your comment, but do you have any idea how many “environmental forms” have to be filled out completely for one rocket launch. My brother did space launches (for the government, perfect record, never had one blow up), and I am slightly knowledgeable on this.

That said, Musk (and my brother) aren’t doing near the damage the Russians and Chinese are doing. We are leaving a pit of radioactivity and chemical toxins for our children.

He has too many irons in the fire, as it were. I would need to ask him about these issues before forming any further opinion of him.

But if he causes certain cryptocurrencies to jump, thus enriching me, I’ll won’t complain too much.

You’re as bad as he is! LOL

Just kidding, hey, it’s America, if you can make a buck or two here, go for it.

He does have a lot of irons in the fire, it’s what he does best!

I try to avoid cognitive dissonance. It’s why I didn’t vote this time. I thought, whatever happens, I’ll still take it day by day, like I always have. I’ll go for the opportunities and option that I can take advantage of.

Smart, but you outsmarted yourself by not voting. Or maybe not! Since you didn’t vote, the Democrats (& the Uniparty) may have voted for you. Or not!

But not comfortably perfect. Or uncomfortably perfect.

Anyway, I’ll tell you what I plan on telling those who voted for Trump who give me a hard time, and, those on the Left who give me a hard time because I’m still a trans phobe or whatever (should it come up, and I actually confess)

Does he even care. Is the perception bigger than the actual platform?

But I don’t Elon is lying in this case. However, he is being misled about what his AI programs are doing on Xitter. Since he has a lot going on, he likely doesn’t realize what is happening on his supposed free speech platform. That’s no excuse, just my opinion of what is happening.

I was suspended for 24 hours or something for calling someone a queer. The hell with them. I don’t even have it on my phone anymore. I did post or comment a few times a week or 2 ago. I don’t care if I hurt a freak’s or perverts’s feelings. Life is rough sometimes. Just as anyone who’s been homeless.

I gave up on “social media” almost as soon as it was founded, remember my-space or face or whatever it was called, well I never did get started on that one either. Wasn’t there a television show or something, “Person of Interest” perhaps. It had a dog in it.

WE ARE WATCHING: Up to 30 Senate 'Republicans' Are Allegedly Prepared to Defy President Trump and Sink MAGA Warrior Matt Gaetz's Hopes of Becoming Attorney General

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/people-are-ped-up-30-senate-republicans-reportedly/

4 BIG RINOS NAMED WHO HATE GAETZ.

The two most left-wing GOPers in the conference, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine have already announced their opposition to Gaetz. Cornyn, Gaetz challenged disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was later booted by Gaetz’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. Later, when Gaetz threatened to bring a Motion to Vacate against McCarthy in October 2023, McCarthy’s cronies started threatening to expel Gaetz based on the Committee’s witch-hunt. (Thus we got Mike Johnson, who was weaker than Bryon Donalds.)

So is the ‘option’ to appoint Gaetz to take Rubio’s seat, wouldn’t that suit them.

I was banned for LIFE from the new "X" for posting a paper on a peer-reviewed and published nationwide study of long-term health outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated.

"Free speech" platform? I think NOT.

I’ve been saying that AI is censoring Instagram for years now. I can get a strike instantly. But it’s just a matter of using symbols and breaking up words to avoid it.

I must be over the target with my Atlantis research because this has caused heavy censoring. I was gaining 1-5 followers a day, now I lose more than I gain.

Elon Musk scares me. I think electric cars are worse for the environment than gasoline-powered cars when all of the environmental impacts from mining the lithium and disposing of the unwanted vehicles are considered.

X is slightly improved, but still leaves a lot to be desired. Thanks for your detailed account.

On the whole, Elon’s lies are less serious than those of doctors who recommend vaccines and take kickbacks. I do business with liars all the time, because my choices are limited, but I like you I only use the free services of X. I do not pay for it.

THE PUBLIC MURDER OF MATT GAETZ BEGINS - House 'Ethics' Committee Leaks Details of Matt Gaetz Investigation into Sex Trafficking - Charges that Were Dropped by Merrick Garland Years Ago! Gaetz was exonerated of all criminal accusations.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/breaking-public-murder-matt-gaetz-begins-deep-state/

The public murder of Matt Gaetz begins.

In 2020, it was first reported that popular MAGA Rep. Matt Gaetz was involved in a sex-trafficking scandal. The bogus allegation arose in 2020 and was pushed continuously by the far-left mainstream media.

Months later, in February 2023, the Merrick Garland Department of Justice decided not to charge Matt Gaetz in the sensationalized sex-scandal probe.

The investigation originally stemmed from allegations that Rep. Gaetz was had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. The DOJ investigated the accusations but decided against pressing charges.

So after Gaetz challenged RINO then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy on his weak leadership and giving in to Democrats on their out of control spending, suddenly the House Ethics Committee reopened an investigation into McCarthy on charges that were already dropped by the Garland DOJ.

Gaetz commented when the Ethics Committee reopened their investigation of Matt Gaetz.

“The Ethics Committee typically operates through leaks and so this is no surprise, but the Ethics Committee has never found me to be in violation of House rules, though they’ve been investigating me during my entire seven years in Congress,” he said. “It’s also funny that the one guy who doesn’t take the corrupt lobbyist and PAC money seems to be under the most Ethics investigation.”

ORGAN HARVESTING IS WIDER SPREAD THAN JUST CHINA.

Sentencing of Chinese Doctor, Death of Whistleblower Shed Light on China’s Large-Scale Organ Trade

https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/sentencing-of-chinese-doctor-death-of-whistleblower-shed-light-on-chinas-large-scale-organ-trade-5755415

The whistleblower’s father said his son, a hospital intern, refused to source child donors and thus may have been murdered.

State-Sanctioned Organ Harvesting

According to China experts, Liu’s case is only an offshoot of China’s industrial-scale organ harvesting.

Tang Jingyuan, a U.S.-based current affairs commentator and a medical doctor, said the court’s description of Liu’s crimes obscured the core issue of “stealing patients’ healthy organs” and selling organs for profit.

“In fact, it exposed one of the most horrendous crimes of the Chinese Communist Party, which is the black industry of live organ harvesting, of which [Liu’s case] is a part,” he told The Epoch Times.

The Second Xiangya Hospital has one of the top transplant centers in China and is allegedly a major player in the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners, according to human rights group World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG).

Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The group has been persecuted by the CCP since 1999. Millions have been detained, tortured, or killed, according to the Falun Dafa Information Center.

Edwin, it's that "stab" word. The algos are stupid or rather not good with sarcasm, irony, and innuendo. Mix that with that violent word and boya, your banned for a week.

I stopped using Facebook when I was accused by the Algo of being a Russian bot back in like 2017 or so. I miss the connections, but it was so unhealthy some of the things people say that lands in ones feed. So, better to avoid it.

Oh I do, I spend zero time on them, whatever I know is picked up from Substack or the websites I visit concerning them, and none of that makes me want to participate in their little games.
