In the same sense that the printing press fueled religious conflicts in Europe in the 1500s, sure.
I just got banned from the Ireland sub for saying I saw Jihadis when I was a student at TUD.
See this is why we need experts. All along I was thinking riots started because people were furious over stabbing of innocent child, but thankfully this article has explained it was all about some tweets.
“Experts”… Yeah, is not the killing of innocent people that fuel the hate…
Im shocked, *shocked*. Well, actually not that shocked.
BS
The left HATES the idea that they can’t censor X or control the algorithm, so they just attack Elon constantly. Hilarious actually.
“Free speech is fascist”
It also fueled the BLM protests in the USA… But that doesn’t fit the narrative does it.
We need to censor any news of migrants stabbing children, any terror attacks or any gang rapes and ban anybody that mentions them. It’s the people talking about it that are the main problem certainly not the people doing it./s

>In the aftermath of the riots, other prominent figures from the right-wing of American politics have pushed a conspiratorial, anti-immigration narrative on X in an attempt to vindicate the violence in Ireland.

Unfortunately, the choice we face is between increasingly oppressive censorship or allowing for “hate speech” within public discourse on the internet. Granted, it is a false dichotomy, as no one will censor hate directed towards white people as a group.
It’s crazy that ‘“Elon Musks X platform” has been causing so much trouble and strife in the world. This never happened with “Jack Dorsey’s Twitter platform”. That only fostered reasonable debate and wasn’t an equally toxic echo chamber with no disinformation or censorship at all.
Of course Twitter fueled it. But at the same time, there is one thing the media does I find very dangerous. They kept the nationality of the terrorist hidden. This allows for a vacuum to form, and the right wing steps in to fill the void. If it’s a Muslim screaming Allah akbar they need to report this immediately. Otherwise we get the streisand effect like we saw. There’s no reason I should be informed by Randoms on reddit about facts of the incident which later proved to be true. When people think information is being hidden, and right ring conservative nationalists turn out to be right, it validates them, and to those who follow them, it only makes them think they’re the only ones willing to share the “truth”
“experts”? you could see it quite plainly.
Bullshit. Looking for a scapegoat you lazy fucks?
Nah man. I don’t like Elon Musk either but blaming him for the riots is a reach. Have some responsability.
Ban newspapers and cellphones next!
Trust the experts
Twitter/X is responsible for a lot of shit, there is no regulation sadly.
*News flash: People discussing injustice online results in people getting mad in real life.*
Holy shit, really? It’s almost like the Irish government has been criminally negligent in setting immigration policy, and are now trying to save their asses by blaming anyone else.
Blaming the medium over which people communicate is certainly a choice. Like “Verizon’s cell network fueled <Insert unrest here>”
*This is your brain on* X
The people here are getting more and more into the right
Yes it did. Just hope it doesn’t lead to anything for the 2024 election. Musk is a clown.
Experts say
“Elon Musk’s social media platform X has fueled far-right disinformation in Ireland and played a key role in riots last month in the country’s capital Dublin, experts tell CBS News.”
No people rioted because kids got stabbed and attacked by a man who is not ethnically irish, was not born in ireland, is from the middle east and follows a particular religion who’s followers seem to be doing almost all of these style attacks across the world.
Kids were stabbed…. Its nothing to do with right wing its called the people are angry that the pattern is continuing and those in power are not listening.
I am sure 50 year old guys is Twitters main demographic
Sometimes I wonder if these media mogul do it intentionally -like run bets on who could be uglier – NYT, BBC, Guardian, Fox, CNN, Ap Jazeera,CBS…feels like they dare the common sense of the audience, they don’t even try to appear ethical or sensical anymore.
Damn most of these comments really trying to dick-ride Musk
It’s the difference between moderation vs no moderation. Without moderation work, Twitter has a larger proportion of hate speech, resulting in incitement of violence, leading to riots.
By the same logic, it’s why newspapers have an editor, or why schools have guidance councillors
Who are those so called experts? Tell me their names. What’s on their CV? What makes them a expert. Enlighten my soul with your wisdom.
It is laughable how predictable blaming Twitter has become. If the corporate media wishes to see why two thirds of Americans distrust them, this is why.
Go have a look at this “expert’s” Twitter profile if you want to see how pathetic it is for a major media outlet to be quoting an individual whose views could easily be described as far-left.
Anything other than our piss poor politicians making shit decisions the last ten years…..
It was never about the stabbing. It was all about having the right colour of “villain”. Note they were not out celebrating that the attack was stopped by an immigrant.
Indigenous irish get assaulted and murdered every day by indigenous Irish and they don’t hit the streets. In fact, these chickenhawks are likely to give testimony that the murderous father of three was a community pillar and was acting out of character when he strangled his wife and kids.
Of course X was a useful platform. Anyone still over there needs a clue train.
Oh no. Free speech must be so terrible. It cannot be allowed.
