Thursday on X (Twitter), all users saw the same pinned topic under the “What’s happening?” sidebar. As part of a “timeline takeover” — which gives advertisers “priority access to logged-in users’ first impression of the day” — conservative media nonprofit PragerU is promoting the hashtag “#DETRANS” to advertise its new film about “the stories of detransitioners.”
Social Media isn’t technology?
Oh I hate this argument.
With an election year next year, politics is about to get shoe horned into everything with the “(insert subject) is politics” is justification.
I think most people think of technology as scientific based rather than social media trends and events.
I wouldn’t call the possibly intentional destruction of a social media infrastructure “social media trends and events.”
