- pkphilip 4y agoWhy? The problem with Twitter is that they currently suspend accounts, remove posts because of "misinformation" and at the instigation of countries wishing to silence critics (see India). And yes, they also have a huge bot problem. If Elon Musk takes over and removes this Twitter censorship and deals with the bot issue, more people will stay on with Twitter rather than opt for alternate platforms.
- etchalon 4y agoThe problem with Twitter, for a certain and specific segment of its users, is that it bans too many users and removes too many posts. The other problem with Twitter, for a different but specific segment of its users, is that it doesn't ban enough users and remove enough posts. If Musk changes Twitters content moderation policy, Users from column A will be happier, and users from column B will be less happy. I believe there are a lot more people in Column B than A.
