Great to see that our #democratic #governments and institutions including #Germany and the #EU are still posting on the #AntiDemocratic #Farright and full of #facism platform #X about the #Iranian #regime and #IranWar.
When will our democratic governments and institutions leave X?

Musk's Twitter takeover highlights danger of owner-dominated social media platforms

"They were never fully democratic, but they rarely supported one political side, and almost never authoritarian groups," said Dr. Magalhães.
#Epstein is a #ChildMolester and #Trump raped possible a child. I strongly believe both are #heterosexual but not #pedophiles, so not attracted to #children.
#JeffreyEpstein is a horrifying person but that doesn't mean he is a pedophile

While publicly supporting protesters in #Iran, #Elon #Musk 's #X appears to have been selling premium accounts to regime officials.

On a side note: #Trump pulled out of #Iran #NuclearDeal in 2018. The deal was already killed before the 2024 president campaign.So, if US voters had picked #Herris she would have to renegotiate the deal again.
I had the same thought, but according to research, most #ChildMolesters aren't attracted to #children, https://zeroabuseproject.org/victim-assistance/jwrc/keep-kids-safe/sexuality-of-offenders/, and so they are not #MAPs according to the article in your post.
And even in case of an attraction to children, many don't abuse: https://web.archive.org/web/20140811180252/https://medium.com/matter/youre-16-youre-a-pedophile-you-dont-want-to-hurt-anyone-what-do-you-do-now-e11ce4b88bdb
Further, according to research, understanding and addressing #stigma surrounding sexual interest in children is paramount as stigma contributes to avoidance of help-seeking https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10906971/
"How can we keep the world of the internet safe for our children."
"How can we reduce and maybe even eliminate the problem of child exploitation online."

I agree, but if you're a pedophile and you don't want to hurt anyone self love is still a real and very hard challenge, I think.
Btw, most sexual child abusers are #heterosexual and not attracted to children: https://zeroabuseproject.org/victim-assistance/jwrc/keep-kids-safe/sexuality-of-offenders/

State Department will delete X posts from before #Trump returned to office
https://www.npr.org/2026/02/07/nx-s1-5704785/state-department-trump-posts-x
Staff members were told that anyone wanting to see older posts will have to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to a State Department employee who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by the Trump administration. That would differ from how the #US #government typically handles archiving the public online footprint of previous administrations.

Whether you're scrolling #TikTok, #Instagram, #X, or #YouTube, it's hard to avoid the snappy videos being churned out by this army of clippers trying to exploit algorithms with a provocative moment, engaging music and maybe the right news cycle, that will send footage viral.

Stupid, but I haven't seen the #Trump administration's reaction before:
"White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said the administration is focused on encouraging Democratic officials to cooperate with federal agents “removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens,” and called Springsteen’s song “irrelevant” and inaccurate."
