I'd imagine it would be rather easy to to prove wether that claim is true or not; show screenshots of said posts with these advertisements next to them.
They did in the article he's suing over.
That pretty much settles it as far as I'm concerned.
screenshots from a single source don't prove much though, they can be easily doctored. Not saying that they are, but twitter could use that angle to make the case. That's why services like archive.org are so important IMO, having an unbiased third party take a snapshot of a site that corroborates with what you're seeing is gold. It's a shame though that I don't think archive.org can actually do this with twitter in this way?
if the source doesn't lie they very much prove it. the number of sources doesn't mean anything because a doctored screenshot can easily be spread by many, it's the quality of source that matters.
I think they mean corroborating evidence more than simply more than one person sporting a screenshot.
Twitter is heavily heavily heavily monitored by bots day in and out. This is how we have news articles about the latest Boebert tweet that she deleted minutes after drunk posting it. These shots could be corroborated a million different ways.
Bully tactics from Musko.
To be clear, is he in hot water over what he said about the ADL? Or the fact that Nazi's are proliferating on his platform and advertisers don't like it?
Short answer: yes.
Longer answer: he's in slightly-higher-than-warm water over his interactions with the ADL and Nazis/antisemitism on the site. He's in hot water over his personal promotion and espousal of antisemitism and ads being displayed next to Nazi content.
