@anthony @w7voa I just don’t understand why he would order the removal of something that is a public good. What is wrong with him?

@stopthatgirl7 @anthony @w7voa Exactly this. I just asked my husband what benefit is there to remove the referrals to suicide hotlines? And posts of self-harm have skyrocketed. I used to think EM was gross, but these decisions are beyond revolting.

@anthony Yet another erratic action that will fire back at him.

@anthony my mind boggles at his logic behind this. I can see his justification with cost cutting, but this seriously couldn't cost anything.

Maybe there is a pattern. Remove all moderation, support hate speech, remove any support for victims of hate speech. 😥

@anthony did it cost money to have it or something? Or does he really hate the commonfolk that much?

@anthony -- Twitter is no longer even PRETENDING to have a social conscience.

@anthony

I mean, maybe. But why add a source that reduces credibility instead of increases it?

NYPost is not a source for anything. If they told me it was cold outside right now, I'd have to go and check.
