Once again, this should be a sign to media outlets that they don’t “have to be” on Twitter. In fact, the thin-skinned man-child who runs the platform doesn’t want anyone who might criticise him there. He’s fine with sycophants, scammers, and Nazis, though.

Media should all use Shotter to criticise him relentlessly until their accounts and banned. One by one. Kill the thing.

It is Xitter or Shitter? What a man baby! Wish he would just take his toy and go home.

I’m this case - he’s not completely wrong.

I wish they would all walk away from that undead corpse of a social media platform.
Unfortunately journalists still seem to be of the mindset that they need to be on Twitter in order to be first to break a story - even if it is completely unsubstantiated or entirely wrong; looking at you Laura Kuenssberg (BBC) and Robert Peston (ITV).

I don’t watch it but has the Tory mouthpiece not left the BBC?

Ew.

Anyone still using that site is begging to be abused by Musk. I have particularly little sympathy for news outlets- if they’re so oblivious they don’t see what’s happened to a site they directly interface with, why should we assume the rest of their reporting is relevant, reliable or even competent?

If he’s not careful, people are going to start thinking Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.

GET OFF XCHAN.
At this point, anything is not trolley, scammer, or fascist staying on will just lent the credibility to this steaming pile shit of a platform. Let it die, the sooner the better. News outlets don’t need Shitter. That place is a full clown car heading for the sun. Just let it fullfil its destiny.

As recently proven by other national news outlets. The costs of remaining on the platform far outweigh the benefits.

No, she’s no longer chief political correspondent, but they gave her her own Sunday morning show, so she’s easier to ignore.
