Must have been one of those useless 80% micro services. /s<p>Doesn't this have legal ramifications? I was pretty sure that studios etc. have contracts with companies like Twitter where Twitter guarantees some sort of effort to prevent copyrighted movies being uploaded in exchange of not being taken to court and held accountable.
I have no choice but to short Tesla stock, no matter how much I like the technology or company. Elon's 30B stake he put up to buy Twitter will have to be sold when the Twitter revenue dries up - and with advertisers and big names leaving that path is inevitable. He really doesn't realize that once you lose market penetration, your done forever no matter how nice you make it. Myspace taught us that. They had a beautiful revamp once upon a time, but it was too late. Facebook ate it's lunch. Same will happen here, only worse.
On the one hand, I'm happy to see copyright systems breaking down! On the other: I sure hope those moderators and systems are down because they're currently being re-tasked with taking down child abuse media (and not, say, just completely shut down due to massive layoffs), otherwise that site is about to become horrifying.
This one is down, but there are plenty more movies linked just in the thread below that are still working at the time of writing. If this is indeed related to the layoffs (very conceivably so), this could easily spiral to a point where the objectively best option (financially, legally) for Musk would be to take the site offline asap.
Where’s the proof that this automatic system ever existed before? I could upload a picture of a horse and say that since my account wasn’t taken down the antihorse system is malfunctioning.
