- justsomeoldguy 3y agoif you're still using twitter at this point, malicious crypto ads are the least of your worries.

- proactivesvcs 3y agoBeing part of, and tacitly validating, an ecosystem that welcomes Nazis, sex traffickers and the sort of people who abuse the bereaved parents of murdered children.
- paulddraper 3y agoThe World Wide Web has all of that...better not tacitly support it.
- timeon 3y agoSo does world. But we are talking about particular website.

- eesmith 3y agoI took it to mean Alex Jones, since I have no idea who those people are and the links you give make no mention of a Twitter/X connection, much less a high-level connection like Jones has. While with Alex Jones we have lawsuits which fit the description of "who abuse the bereaved parents of murdered children", like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones#Pozner_and_De_La_Rosa_vs._Jones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones#Pozner_and_De_La_Ro... > On April 16, 2018 Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, parents of victim Noah Pozner, filed a defamation suit against Jones, Infowars and Free Speech Systems in Travis County, Texas.[254] Pozner, who has been forced to move several times to avoid harassment and death threats, was accused by Jones of being a crisis actor. as just one example, and we have the high-level Twitter connection on the same Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones#Social_media_restrictions_and_bans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones#Social_media_restri... > In November 2022, Musk referred to Jones as a person who "would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame" and said Jones would not be unbanned.[119] He changed his position on December 10, 2023 when he reinstated Jones's account.

- nextworddev 3y agoI stopped Twitter because of constant crypto and hustle spam
- ivanjermakov 3y agoI think "fed up" users left the platform long time ago.
- tmaly 3y agoI have not seen any crypto ads, but my stream was not what it use to be. I try to follow STEM teachers and I use to have a good volume of posts till just before Elon took over.
