X Corp. vs. Media Matters for America et al.

IANAL, but it seems pretty cut and dry to me: either Twitter served up an ad next to the objectional content or it didn't. A number of the named advertisers claim to have zero tolerance policies when it comes to their brand being placed adjacent to antisemitic content, and so even one misplaced ad should and would be enough to cause an exodus under that policy. At the end of the day twitter and its algorithms control what ads get served regardless of how abnormal the user behavior was that triggered the algorithm to do what it did. Ultimately it's an engineering failure on twitter's part.

At this point, I would think an ad from IBM&#x2F;Apple&#x2F;etc. showing up next to a post of Elon&#x27;s would be enough to prove advertisements have been placed next to a known anti-Semite.<p>But that&#x27;s just me.

Wonderful world when the worlds richest man starts using the legal system to spend his “enemies” into oblivion.

Scroll down for screenshots of the ads for the mentioned major brands alongside nazi content: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mediamatters.org&#x2F;twitter&#x2F;musk-endorses-antisemitic-conspiracy-theory-x-has-been-placing-ads-apple-bravo-ibm-oracle" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mediamatters.org&#x2F;twitter&#x2F;musk-endorses-antisemit...</a>

What would you recommend in this case? MacBook Pro. Most of the time, it’s plugged in because I use it at my desk, so why would I use the battery unnecessarily when the power outlet is right there, and the laptop is stationary. But that means that the battery is “fully charged” most of the time. Is that bad? Would it be better if it didn’t go above 80% most of the time?

I&#x27;m not a fan of X&#x2F;Elon&#x2F;hate, but ads shown at search page with hate word shouldn&#x27;t be a big problem. If it should be considered to a serious problem, every service operator with search feature (even without UGC) need to check very precisely whether the user input is hate or not.

This means that they&#x27;ll have to settle, or both parties will need to reveal their relevant algorithms (for ad placement and detection), something they&#x27;re likely to want to avoid.
