"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

You used to be able to play games on your browser.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

The world's richest man runs a subscription-based automated service that removes clothing from photographs of children.

This is not the law.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

It's funny (not the amusing kind) that the people who are most like "MERICA! The only free country!" are also the ones saying "well if you stand near an Officer of the Law and perceive them, OF COURSE they have a right to shoot you and prevent your loved ones from holding your hand as you perish."

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

To any Greenlanders out there reading this, as an American citizen, I will gladly accept, say, around 64,000 krone to secede from the United States. Just throwing that out there.

Lmao Republicans: No student loan forgiveness for you. Also Republicans: We will literally pay other nations money so they become the 51st state.

Your goal is to make Americans safer, no matter how many Americans you have to kill!

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

I feel like... we *already have this*. Oh, no, wait, it doesn't count if you call it a "police action."

1. The attacks on trans people have become untenable, and many people feel like they can no longer stay in their homes. Now, this morning, the Movement Advancement Project put hard numbers on it: 9% of transgender people, 400,000 people, have moved states. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We create. They can only destroy.

I am horrified by the murder of a woman in Minneapolis by an ICE agent. This is what fascism looks like in real time, where a far-right government emboldens a violent death squad to terrorise communities with impunity.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

it says here you “feared for your life”?

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

It's amazing how live action Ahsoka provided an answer to the question: "Can a writer fundamentally misunderstand their own character on a truly basic level?" And the answer, heartbreakingly, is "yes."

We banned overdraft fees. Trump brought them back.

Man who's been impeached twice but is still in office: No guys, really. They say third time's the charm, and this will be the charmiest of all charms.

Wish I could internalize this

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

Bent over to plug in my phone's charger in the outlet. Threw out my back.

For every hype moment of DWJ’s Transformers run, there’s these emotional beats.. I feel like a lot of writers would be embarrassed to have a scene where Optimus Prime mourns Bumblebee by calling him “my beautiful boy” but DWJ understands that Optimus isn’t just a warrior or a leader, he’s a father

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

It's 2026, and I am begging YouTubers to please turn OFF automatic mid-rolls on your videos. Even if you're putting in manual mid-rolls, YouTube puts mid-rolls in automatically, and it's making your videos unwatchable. Every 3-7 minutes it's an ad. It's ruined the site, and it's ruining your videos.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
