it’s likely because twitter’s owner has turned extremely political and that makes them uncomfortable.
particularly since he vocally is politically extreme, very vocally. they likely don’t want to put themselves or their work at the mercy of his extreme whims.
- constantlm 2y agoIf you look at what happened at Twitter in the time before Musk bought it, one could argue that it's already been extremely political - just not on the side the EU would like.
- nickthegreek 2y agoWe all remember when Jack Dorsey spent over $100m of his money and went around campaigning for a candidate..
- toofy 2y agoits quite a bit different. Jack Dorsey wasn’t appointed to a government position, he also wasn’t nearly as vocally extreme as twitters current owner. also, it’s we don’t even have to speculate, the current owner has been very vocal that in addition to directly joining the current administration, he plans to be even more heavily involved in influencing politics around the world. i can absolutely understand why journalists would want to distance that piece of their toolkit from his platform. honestly, id be more skeptical of journalists who don’t move to other pastures.
