The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

The Bill includes no definition of hate and is wide open to abuse by bad actors. Defend free speech – say no to this legislation, and any legislation of is kind… Anywhere!

Free Speech Ireland on twitter

You need to take a crash course in media literacy. This is little more than a propaganda account and you’re posting it uncritically wholesale.

It’s fucking hilarious how x.com still redirects to twitter.com

honestly the lamest and funniest bit.

Perfectly ties the whole thing up in a bow: can't even technically manage a domain name change.

BeardedGingerWonder,

Willing to bet some motherfucker has hardcoded twitter domain on the backend in one (or many) link generation process(es) on the basis “it’s not like they’re going to change the name” and now it borks occasionally if they use x.com

of course, switching it back might not be so easy... 😂

BeardedGingerWonder,

Oh god. You’ve probably hit the nail on the head both directions all the same, how many methods/classes/variables are going to have twitter in the name somewhere. Or random bash scripts that pass an arg to something else from a job scheduler. This shit gives me the heebeejeebees just thinking about it.

It's too bad you couldn't find a link to somewhere other than x.com. Just going by the headline though, this could lead to great new career opportunities for Irish black market contraband meme dealers.
