Elizabeth Warren today:
Why not? The media tells us every day what they think is the truth and fact and we eat it up. And what does the pandemic have to do with his wealth? He bought the company it's his to do with what he wants. If it is dangerous to have so much power in so few hands, then why do we give a President the right to sign Executive orders? Yes he or she is elected by the public, but Twitter is not required. You have a choice to use it or not. So why suddenly is the Government getting involved? They didn't seem to care 2 years ago or 8 years ago.

Elon Musk is not about free speech. He has now got rid of the people who monitor COVID disinformation and child porn. Yet we don't see anybody calling him a groomer. That's because the right is not concerned about free speech, they crying was done by racists, anti semites and other deplorables who want to be free to spread crap. Thank you for once again simply posting to trash the right and cry racism. I would have been disappointed if you actually had a well thought out reply to the topic. That aside, Elon Musk OWNS Twitter. This is a Capitalist country for now at least. No one is forced to join Twitter, Facebook, Rumble, Truth Social or any other social media platform. You join at your own risk and if you are actually stupid enough to believe everything you read then shame on you. FYI, the 'you' is in general not pointed at anyone. And if you don't like what you see either leave or block the poster. Americans used to have the capability to think for themselves and decide what they believed and what they didn't. Now apparently the Government has decided we can't and they have to tell us what we can read and believe. And as I have stated I am not on Twitter because I made the decision all by myself without the government's help.

I am not on Twitter, and have no desire to be.
What sort of awful tweets are being put out there?
Any examples?

Like I previously mentioned I'm only on Twitter for HS football results and a national breaking news account. No great loss to leave.

Unfortunately, that has been going on in soccer for decades, and honestly, is not unexpected.
The article did state that this is not new around World Cup time.
I would be curious to know what the percentage of these racist/hateful is compared to the total amount of tweets.
And before anyone jumps on me, no, I do not condone such behavior, nor am I naive enough to think that it will ever be eliminated.

Well, they always have, so I would say not much has changed.
