Billionaires have a mental illness

A fairly large percentage of straight people definitely have mental illness. Likely the same ones that will be saying the same thing about gay/trans.

I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me

What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?

People are free to out themselves as ignorant on Meta. Technology is getting crazy.

SocialMediaRefugee, to technology in Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old

People complain about being annoyed by amber alerts on their phones anyway

frayedpickles,

Complaining about a loud irrelevant thing is different from not wanting it.

Why are they surprised that someone who is highly sympathetic to sex offenders would want them to get away from their crimes.

Methinks that Elon would tote the security of a Tesla, but something tells me that if a sex offender or child kidnapper were to take it, the sensors would stop updating and it would release a lot of DNA destroying enzymes in the interior and exterior that would destroy crucial evidence inside and outside the vehicle.

frayedpickles,

Paragraph one: agreed, Elon musk loves sex offenders and probably is one. Love this paragraph.

Paragraph two jumped the shark.

Using (only) corpomedia to announce information at government level should be illegal.

samus12345,

As of Jan. 20th, they will fully be one and the same.

Did Elon Musk Rape and Dismember a 14 Year Old Girl?

ochi_chernye,

People are saying it. Many great people.

I wonder why such an important piece of info is posted on social media but not on a dedicated webpage that can be linked to any social media posts.

postmateDumbass,

And remember the attempt to abandon AM radio as a standard for diseminating emergency information.

This is what happens when governments rely on a private corporate service for public announcements

Every government should just adopt a fediverse instance of some sort, maintain it and push that to everyone to use as a public announcement service. That way it would not be controlled, manipulated, lost or disconnected if they had full control over it all the time.

metaStatic,

This is a solved problem

Shit catches fire in Australia and we get text messages.

shani66,

Our phones in America get amber alerts and extreme weather notifications too, so idk what this article is on about

metaStatic,

ignoring for a second you can turn off push notifications so that's a stupid contact method in the first place they also just linked to a 3rd party site instead of sending info directly over the system.

Did you try reading it?

sunzu2,

Yeah but government doing anything besides feeding corporate parasites is communism.

Can't have that... We should be paying Twitter a service fee for them allowing our government to communicate to peasants.

hubobes, to technology in Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old

In Switzerland there is an app called Alert Swiss which gets published by the government. They use it for critical alerts and you can also use it to see open warnings and where in the country there might be stuff happening.

Just do the same @California

Here's a bold idea, stop using X! You don't have any control over it, so don't expect it to do what you want. I agree with others here, Gov should switch to a decentralized option.
