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.”
That’s only if you live in the US though….the rest of the world doesn’t care that much for your local politics….so it won’t be “shoehorned” into all posts as there are internet users outside the USA….gasp
Non American Internet users likely talk American politics just as much as Americans. Even if it is just to criticize Americans
I don’t get why people in other countries would be concerned about the rise of fascism in the USA.
It’s not like the US has the most powerful military in the world and frequently uses it to impose its will. Or has the largest economy and can (and does) throw its weight around in the global market. It can’t single handedly prop up or undermine other countries through aid, defense agreements, trade deals, sanctions, etc. It would never engage in proxy wars. Or controls huge swaths of the social and traditional media space – and can shape discourse worldwide.
I mean, it’s just local stuff and couldn’t possibly effect them.
