The platform formerly known as Twitter has now removed headlines from article links. Because what people really want to do is waste time clicking a picture while completely uncertain about what’s behind it.
An Officer and a Gentleman who oversaw torture at Guantanamo, turns his state's economy a shambles by driving all the migrant labor, and severely limits Debra Winger's bodily autonomy with a six-week abortion ban signed in the dead of night.
Years of living without the woman you love, knowing that despite your amazing powers you failed to save the one person that mattered, and then you stop pulling the punches.
Elon Musk’s Twitter Is Becoming a Sewer of Disinformation
Changes to the platform have systematically amplified authoritarian state propaganda.
Few recent actions have done more to make a social media platform safe for disinformation, extremism, and authoritarian regime propaganda than the changes to Twitter since its purchase by Elon Musk in 2022. Following his takeover as CEO, the platform has disbanded its trust and safety teams; revoked bans on extremist and dangerous accounts; removed labels informing users that accounts were associated with foreign governments (including Russian and Chinese propaganda outlets); censored journalists critical of Musk; and allowed for what users report, anecdotally, to be a sharp increase in hate speech, online trolling, and harassment. All this marks the decline of Twitter as a trusted platform for news and information.
