          old twitter at least pretended to fight hate speech and disinformation, the “new” twitter X doesn’t give a flying fuck to both issues

      Not nearly this bad. Go read the article. It’s much easier to spread crap nowadays, even though you could before.

      This isn’t pointed out enough, IMO. People act like it went sharply downhill under Musk but this is the platform that enabled extremists for years and only even banned Trump when he literally tried to overthrow democracy. Maybe Twitter was good in like 2010 but I really don’t think Musk changed THAT much about it.
