Following high-profile accusations of undue political influence in Brazil and Germany, France has launched a criminal investigation into Elon Musk's X.
I’d argue it’s different for an individual as oposed to a company as well. If it was ‘Country opens criminal investigation on Oil Company because of Nature Damage’ it wouldn’t be freude because of the schaden done to the oil company. But if the news was ‘CEO of Oil Company that caused Nature Damage’ I’d say that’s schadenfreude because the news is about a bad thing happening to a bad person.
I do get your perspective, but one of the things that we (as the community) decided was that if something bad happening to bad folks will not be considered uplifting. There were many posts about a month ago, of similar nature to this, and then someone from community just made a rant post, to which we opened voting for. And since then, we have “discouraged” such posts.
I followed the discussion and agree schadenfreude is not uplifting and also believe its up to mods to make final decisions, just arguing why i think in this case this news is not very schadenfreude and not necessarily political anyway in an effort to convince you to not remove this post. I’m aware others feel different though.
