In a Twitter space hosted by Oz Katerji, a British-Lebanese reporter based in Ukraine and NAFO ally.

3 speakers show the effects of Musk's idiocy.

- A rescuer said Twitter communication saved 1000s of lives from natural disasters. The new limits render it useless.

- An Afghan said the Taliban bought masses of blue-check accounts, where they celebrate suicide bombings around the world.

- A Nigerian journalist can no longer use Twitter to bypass state censorship.

For Musk, it's just a game.

Most of the discussion I end up seeing about ELoon and the Saudi's purchase of that foul site is so damn focused on the USA. I wonder how much impact their undermining that public square has affected people in other countries.

@GreenFire I know. In the USA and most of Europe there are usually other options but in countries where media is censored or monitored it's a lifeline of information.

@alcaldood @GreenFire I hope Mastodon can be an alternative. In Belarus, they use TG but I'm very wary about it

@GreenFire @alcaldood Not being able to help political prisonners, no info available about the situation in Cuba, Belarus... Not sure it's the answer you search though.
