Elon Musk’s X, formerly Twitter, granted subscription perks to designated terrorist groups and others barred from operating in the US, according to campaigners.

Twitter is burning money and struggling with getting advertisers, and “subscribers” are barely keeping them afloat. Of course they need to accept money where ever it comes from. Why is this a surprise?
That’s how a subscription works, people pay money for benefits. Not surprised that X isn’t looking into paying accounts since they are short staffed (AFAIK) and low on money. No surprise at all, clickbait title here.
Blue checks can also receive payment based on engagement from other blue checks, though. Doesn’t seem to be implied in the article that this happened, but it’s a consideration.
Taking money from Israel, i see? /S
Why the /s?
So they aren’t a terrorist government? Because they do seem to like to terrorise innocent civilians
They are not terrorists, just utter garbage and waste of organic matter. We should recycle them in factories or something before they start bombing other countries in the name of their delusions. 🧐🧐🧐 /S
And if I understood correctly, they only take away the blue checkmark, and don’t close the accounts?
Were they taking money from the CIA?
SpaceX and Tesla both got US government grants, why is no one talkibg bout that group of terrorists?
Well, as long as they’re taking money away from the terrorists. /s
I never even think about taking money from terrorists as a problem. Guess most social media organizations aren’t so hard up for cash or short staffed.
Lemmy isn’t much better.
The .ml admins are problematic afaik
Move then?

The problem is you can’t have a differing opinion without runn8ng headlong into a mod.
