Accuses interviewer of lying about ‘hate speech’ increasing on Twitter

In a spontaneous sit down with the BBC, Twitter owner Elon Musk accused the interviewer of lying about ‘hate speech’ becoming uncontrollable on the platform, as well as questioning why the BBC failed to report on COVID vaccination side effects and instead spread misinformation about masking.

BBC tech reporter James Clayton told Musk “We’ve spoken to people very recently who were involved in moderation and they just say there’s not enough people to police this stuff, particularly around hate speech in the company. Is that something that you want to address?”

Musk then challenged the interviewer to name one instance of ‘hate speech’ he had come across on Twitter, which he remarkably couldn’t do.

Apparently the guy failed to do even a modicum of prep before the interview.

”What hate speech are you talking about?” Musk responded, adding “I mean, you use Twitter. Do you see a rise in hate speech? Just a personal anecdote? I don’t.”

Musk then asked Clayton to “describe a hateful thing,” to which the interviewer responded “Well, yeah, you know, content that would solicit a reaction, something that is slightly racist, slightly sexist.”

Musk then Clayton “if something is slightly sexist it should be banned?” and added “I’m asking for one example and you can’t give a single one…. I say sir that you don’t know what you are talking about.”

“You literally said you experience more hateful content and then couldn’t name a single example, that’s absurd,” Musk asserted.

“You cannot give me a single example of hateful content, not even one tweet. And yet you claimed that hateful content was high. That is false, you just lied,” Musk charged.

Watch:

Clayton then changed the subject and asked why Twitter has stopped taking action against tweets breaching its rules on Covid misinformation, to which Musk responded “Covid is no longer an issue.”

Musk then asked “What about the BBC’s misinformation about Covid?”

“Does the BBC hold itself at all responsible for misinformation regarding masking and side effects of vaccinations? And not reporting on that at all?” he added.

Musk continued, “and what about the fact that the BBC was put under pressure by the British Government to change the editorial policy, were you aware of that?”

Clayton had no response and instead suggested the pair “talk about something else”.

Here is audio of the full exchange on ‘hate speech’ and ‘misinformation’

In a report broadcast later on BBC News, neither of the segments were shown, only other parts of the interview were highlighted:

Musk seemed to know that this would happen, hence the reason for streaming the entire interview on Spaces:

Elsewhere, Musk addressed the controversy over Twitter labelling the BBC as ‘government funded media,’ noting that he believes the label will soon change to ‘publicly funded media’.

“Our goal was simply to be as truthful and accurate as possible so I think we are adjusting the labelling to be publicly funding which I think is not too objectionable. We are trying to be accurate,” Musk stated.

He later added “If we use the same words that the BBC uses to describe itself, that presumably would be ok…it seems to pass a reasonable test.”

Elsewhere during the interview, Musk asked Clayton if he even likes the BBC, which drew another awkward response.

He also told Clayton that his dog is now the CEO of the platform:

    EU Chief Boasts About Vaccine Passports, Calls For More Global Digital Collaboration – Paving The Way For Digital IDs

    Von der Leyen audaciously proclaimed our collective future to be digital.

    With an ominous call for increased global collaboration and centralization, European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen at a G20 Summit session, dubbed “One Future,” today appealed for an international regulatory body for Artificial Intelligence and digital ID systems similar to coronavirus vaccine passports.

    Von der Leyen audaciously proclaimed our collective future to be digital, hence the implied necessity for global entities to draw boundaries and enforce regulations.

    Von der Leyen, in her position as the EU Commission President, touched on AI and the digital landscape in her address. She acknowledged the potential dangers and gargantuan opportunities linked with advancing AI technology and emphasized the importance of channeling such explosive technology.

    “Today I want to focus on AI and digital infrastructure. As it has been described, AI has risks but also offers tremendous opportunities. The crucial question is how to harness a rapidly changing technology.

    “In the EU, in 2020, we presented the first-ever law on artificial intelligence. We want to facilitate innovation while building trust. But we need more. What the world does now will shape our future. I believe that Europe — and its partners — should develop a new global framework for AI risks,” von der Leyen said.

    Von der Leyen praised the European Union’s move in 2020 to introduce the first legal framework on AI, a step taken with the intent of fostering innovation alongside trust. However, she insisted that this wasn’t sufficient. She suggested a multinational adoption of a coping mechanism for managing AI risks.

    The EU Chief also stressed that globally accepted standards must be created under the purview of the United Nations, akin to their Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Humanity stood to benefit, she argued, if an international authority could clarify the risks and rewards related to AI, akin to the IPCC for climate concerns.

    Concurrently, von der Leyen championed the concept of digital public infrastructure similar to the coronavirus passport system – a system developed by the EU as a response to the Covid saga. The World Health Organization embraced it with open arms as a global standard for combating health threats.

    “Many of you are familiar with the COVID-19 digital certificate. The EU developed it for itself. The model was so functional and so trusted that 51 countries on 4 continents adopted it for free. Today, the WHO uses it as a global standard to facilitate mobility in times of health threats,” von der Leyen continued.

    Alarmingly, von der Leyen praised the EU’s strides towards a bloc-wide digital identity app capable of storing a citizen’s personal information, including credit cards, driver’s license, and passport data.

    These developments ring alarm bells for individuals and nations valuing free speech and privacy.

    Report: Biden Wanted To Partner With Communist Chinese App To Spy On Americans

    The federal government wanted to become the Western arm of Tik Tok’s surveillance network

    A Forbes report has revealed that the Biden Administration attempted to forge a contractual agreement with TikTok that would have allowed the government to control features of the Chinese app to spy on Americans.

    Forbes managed to get hold of a draft of the contract between TikTok and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) that would have essentially allowed multiple US agencies to access the app’s records and operations in exchange for allowing it to continue operating in the U.S.

    The report notes that the draft agreement dating from mid 2022 would have given the Department of Justice and Department of Defense direct access to TikTok users’ activities, allowing for searches of TikTok’s US headquarters, files, and servers without providing any notice.

    The U.S. government would have basically been using the exact same methods via TikTok that the Communist Party in China uses to monitor its citizens.

    While it has not confirmed the details of the report, TikTok issued a statement noting that it has been working with CFIUS for an extended period of time.

    “As has been widely reported, we’ve been working with CFIUS for well over a year to implement a national security agreement and have invested significant resources in implementing a firewall to isolate US user data,” the statement noted.

    It continued, “Today, all new protected US user data is stored in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in the US with tightly controlled and monitored gateways. We are doing more than any peer company to safeguard US national security interests.”

    The report comes in the wake of a ruling by a federal judge in July that the Biden administration acted like an “Orwellian Ministry Of Truth” By working in conjunction with big tech platforms to censor opinions it didn’t like during the Covid pandemic.
