Did Covid-19 make everyone lose their minds? This isn’t about corporate folks being cruel or egotistical. This is just a stupid thing to say. Has the world lost the concept of PR??? Genuinely defending 𝕏 in the year 2026… for Deepfake porn including of minors??? From the Fortnite company guy???
Trump has shown these oligarchs that they don’t have to pretend to not be arrogant oligarchs anymore. They can speak their minds without suffering any kind of repercussion or censure for their insane narcissistic greed.
Unironically this behaviour is just “pivoting to a run for office as a Republican” vibes nowadays.
Its no longer even ‘weird behaviour’ for a US CEO.
For some reason Epic studios just let Tim Sweeney say the most insane things. If I was a shareholder I’d want someone to take his phone off him.
They could learn a lesson from Tesla.

Every day further convinces me we all died of COVID, and this is The Bad Place.
Im not going to comment on whatever he’s commenting on.
Im just going to re-affirm that Tim Sweeney is a fucking moron. in any and all cases
What a surprise, Tim Sweeney is still a shit person
That’s not even what gatekeeping means. Unless he’s trying to stand up for the universal right to participate in the child porn fandom.
He wants to use AI in his products but then not be responsible for his products.
Oh that’s an even worse (and probably accurate) interpretation.
“How are we supposed to do business if there are consequences for our actions?!”
Who else just did a search on the Epstein files for “Tim Sweeney”?
I didn’t find anything on jmail, but there’s still a lot that haven’t been released, and a lot of stuff is still redacted.
Man I just ran into 3 site blockages trying to open this. Somebody REALLY doesn’t want this to be read.
I use a VPN for 99.9% of personal Internet usage and had no issues connecting. So you’re probably correct that it’s being blocked by some means either intentional or not.
Just look at that guy. If you were to ask 1000 people to describe what they thought a typical CSAM viewer looked like and averaged their responses together you would get something like this photo of Tim Sweeney.
Yeah. I’m as tired of the argument that pretty much anything goes as far as free speech goes as I am of the “everything is a slippery slope when we make laws to keep people from doing harmful shit.”
I mean what’s the required damage before people put a stop to inciteful speech and objectively harmful lies? Or making CSAM of kids using a platform like X? Germany had to kill a few million people before they decided that maybe displaying Nazi symbols and speech wasn’t a good idea. So we have a platform being used to make CSAM. What’s it going to take before someone says that this is a bad idea and shouldn’t be done? How many kids will commit suicide after being taunted and shamed for their images being used? How many is “enough”? There should be immediate action to end the means to use these tools to make porn, there’s plenty of porn available on the internet and making it from user-submitted images on a major public platform is a horrible idea, but too many make up all kinds of reasons why we can’t do that…economic, censorship, whatever.
TIL Tim Sweeney doesn’t know what gatekeeping is
Pedo and facist defendant Tim Sweeney. Burn his business down by disconnecting your, patronage, money, time, etc. Boards can find CEOs who are not supporters of Pedo and Facists
From making CSAM? Makes you wonder about this Sweeny guy.
I’m no fan of banning this or that particular platform (it’s like trying to get rid of cheeseburgers by banning McDonalds; the burgers are still available from all the other burger chains and all the people who use the one will just switch to others) but this is a hilariously wrong way to get to the right answer.
The difference here is that the content is explicitly illegal in almost every jurisdiction in the world. And it’s not as if Twitter (I’m not calling it x) is a niche platform that regulators may not have yet noticed.
It’s a huge company that’s doing very illegal things very much out in the open. That might fly in fascist land USA but I don’t see why the rest of the world should put up with it.
The ‘content’ actually may not be illegal in many places. Laws in a number of places do not include non-photographic representations because the harm is in the creation of the imagery by abusing real human children or the incentivisation of abuse by purchasing the material. At any rate, the point is that it’s not the platform but the content people object to. Closing twitter down would not stop people who want it from using GenAI to make images. The tech exists now and we will have to figure out how to handle that.

I feel like you didn’t read my previous comment. That is not an excuse. The problem is that they are hosting the content quite happily without doing anything about it.
If my political opponents are actually sexual predators and their speech is sexual harassment, I’m down with censoring them. That should be the least of their problems.
As if we didn’t need more reasons to hate on epicgames.
They are all such vile people 💀
Exactly.
The arch demons we need to get rid of, for anything good to happen.
This is almost as sus as the the specific preferred age range terminology for pedophiles that comes up now and again in the most uncomfortable of scenarios
