Elon Musk bought Twitter after a long struggle. But, as he stated before the purchase, he also dealt with the policies to liberate the platform. According to the news that emerged today, after the takeover of Elon Musk, fake accounts on Twitter increased and harassment intensified. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Elon Musk threatens the security of Twitter users
Before the acquisition, Elon Musk stated that the social media platform would be a more free platform. In addition, he said that this would be in a way that no one would be disturbed within the framework of Twitter security. However, according to the news that emerged today, while the freedom part of what Musk said is realized, things are not going well in terms of security.
Former employees of the company announced in an interview for Twitter that there was an increase in fake accounts, information errors and child abuse on the platform.
‘Twitter knocking’ platform from former Twitter founder: Bluesky!
Former Twitter CEO Dorsey recently launched a Twitter rival social media app called Bluesky.
The journalist, who interviewed former Twitter employees on security, also gave the following details on the subject:
“Harassment on Twitter is nothing new to me. I’m a reporter there who shares news of disinformation, conspiracy and hate. But for much of the past year, I’ve noticed that it’s been dwindling across all social media sites. On Twitter in November, I noticed that the situation was worsening.”
“A team from the International Center for Journalists and the University of Sheffield is monitoring the data in the account. It revealed that harassment against me on Twitter has more than tripled since Musk took office, compared to the same period of the year.”
Elon Musk fired many people, especially executives, after buying Twitter. Ex-employees also talk about this while giving this interview, explaining that Twitter is left alone as content.
A former Twitter member explained that a new person with no expertise in the interview description on the subject is now interested in the work that more than twenty people used to do. In addition, he stated that Elon Musk only gave a few days for months of work, and again, these were done by non-experts.
To summarize, former employees explain that Twitter is getting worse in terms of content and security. Elon Musk, on the other hand, talks about the innovations that will come to Twitter with the statements he makes on the platform every day.
