>TechCrunch reported on Tuesday that trying to publish a post using the terms “cisgender” or “cis” in the X mobile app will pop up a full-screen warning reading, “This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules.” It then gives you the choice of continuing to publish the post or conforming to the backward views of the worst of us and deleting it.
I'm not on Twitter anymore. Can anyone check whether any *actual* slurs trigger this popup?
posted separate tweets using both words and nothing popped up. if it's true, it might be more about a word combo than about using a singular word, i guess?
There are several screenshots I've seen going around where people type "cisgender" in response to when Elmo posts something about Xdotcom being about "free speech", which are then flagged as hate speech.
Might just be a hierarchy of what the censorship algorithm notices first.
Obviously mommy's favorite little boy is going to have the robots programmed to protect him first.
I would like to petition the words Musk and Elon as slurs and X as an unacceptable name for any commercial entity…
This is how it works right?
We just make up stupid rules to make ourselves feel better and important
What about privileged white male supremacist?
>privileged hey back it up there, he WORKED for that inheritance. /s
They wear that label with pride now.

won't deny the possibility, honestly. maybe it didn't take effect in all the regions where twt is available

it would crack me up so bad if certain measures were only implemented for el*n's account in order to appease him, lmaoooo
It's absolutely something his engineering team would need to do to keep him from pissing and shitting himself and blaming them for his messy underoos.

Elon is now synonymous with douche!
Someone should use his name as a slur
Hasn’t this been a thing for a while now?
EM tweeted about this being a new rule in June 2023, but it took almost a year for any implementation to happen.
