Is Elon Musk ruining Twitter? It seems so.
About a week ago, Elon Musk became the absolute owners of Twitter The social network of « microblogging" is widely used, and it is very likely that many of you have it on your iPhone or iPad And, since Musk has come to power of the company, a lot is happening in them.
We start, first, with the verified accounts. Verified accounts are those that have the blue tick and that allows to identify that whoever is behind that account and tweets from it, corresponds to the person they claim to be.
The arrival of Elon Musk on Twitter has brought about a revolution in the social network
These accounts have usually been reserved for famous people, acquaintances, etc. But it looks like this is about to change and to maintain the blue tick, Musk would start charging between $8 and $20 per month. In other words, anyone could have the verified badge, which could lead to impersonations.
We continue with the theme of "freedom of expression".Elon Musksaid that, by buyingTwitter , he promised that there would be no what he considered censorship on the social network and that all speeches were welcome in it. But it seems that now he does not seem so good since he has indicated that content moderation, against which he was against, will remain on Twitter practically as it has been until now.
We imagine that Elon Musk will remove functions as useful against misinformation as these
In addition to this, Elon Musk has laid off nearly 50% of the workforce worldwide. And in rather unusual ways like disconnecting employee accounts from access to Twitter. These layoffs on Twitter have generated a lot of criticism and, in fact, lawsuits have already been filed against the company for violating the labor laws of numerous countries and states of USA
But the thing doesn't stop there and the problems for Musk multiply. For all of the above, many companies have decided not to advertise on Twitter. Among them there are giants like General Motors, L'Oreal, Audi and the entire Volkswagen Group or Pfizer.
Of course, the arrival of Elon Musk to Twitter is bringing quite a few problems to the little bird's social network. There is no telling how this will end. The solution may be for Elon Musk to leave Twitter, but in the meantime it seems that, as has happened with moderation and "censorship", he will have to retract some of his opinions and decisions and his already famous « the bird is feed «.
