Which is a pretty stupid comment to make given they are hosting the Olympics next year. A ridiculous amount of effort has been made to clean up the city even going so far as to make the Seine swimmable by athletes and the general public. Not sure of any major city where that is possible.
This is a solid video describing Paris’ strategy for cleaning the Seine before the Olympics. Very cool.

The US could clean up certain parts of the City that was hosting the APAC event at some weeks ago. Now that the Asian leaders are gone the drugs and garbage on the streets have returned from what i heard..
So cleaning up a city for a big event is not something new or permanent.

> and where freedom of speech is the most upheld. Elon is literally suing for speech he doesn't like.
Can you go into more detail? He pays for peoples legal funds who have issues with free speech on twitter no matter if he agrees or not.
Twitter is complying with more government demands under Elon Musk. [1]
Before Musk, Twitter's full compliance rate hovered around 50%; since the takeover, it is over 80%.
These countries include China [2] and India [3].

#48There is sewage in X, sewage in your city, and sewage in your home. X is what you make it to be. I spend little enough time on it that the small amount of content I do consume from it doesn't offend me. What I have noticed is the vast amount of criticism of X during the FB Threads rollout. Unsurprisingly, it's dead. Threads has no reason to be immune to the alleged dysfunction that's seen on X. My theory is that it w…
That is somewhat true for a low-profile account. When mostly reading. It is a lot less true for a high-profile account, which is receiving tons of replies and other interactions, where the sewage swamps out and flows towards you.
I dunno, I have one account with a few hundred k followers and the quality stuff’s in the DMs, same as always. You can’t really keep up with the replies anyways.

It's funny how cities clean themselves up only when the rest of the world is looking at them, e.g Olympics, only to fall into disrepair the moment that's gone, because why would the government ever care about its own people, right?
Because it costs an epic fuckload of money and effort to perform the cleanup. Quite often the cities are in worse shape as they take no debt to perform said building/cleanups and then are left without the funds to perform the basic level of maintenance they were before the olympics.

That's compatible with freedom of speech. He's not censoring it, but he can show damages from misleading speech.
In this case it was specifically intentionally misleading (something they have logs to prove), and weaponized against the business of X itself. Clearly different from some random internet person saying something controversial or unpopular.
People have replicated the results. Which isn't surprising, given how much trash content that place has these days.
Also: does anyone think those big accounts just up and left after one shoestring organization published something?
They most likely replicated the results themselves.
