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.
@alcaldood But when do people simply ditch Twitter as unusable, and treat it as history? Or are people going to do like the journalism outfits and beg for privileges?
It seems to me wrong to talk about Twitter AS IF IT STILL EXISTS. I consider it GONE and suggest others view it that way. It simply no longer exists.
Look at it this way: even if one were to get back the means to communicate about natural disasters TOMORROW, there’s no reliability for THE DAY AFTER THAT. Better to assume it gone.
