Summary: Twitter is being scrutinised by the media but usually for the wrong reasons or weak reasons that help belittle the need to escape Twitter; maybe the media has a conflict of interest because it made itself somewhat reliant on Twitter

THE media seems to be missing the biggest scandals about Twitter, maybe by intention. There's this misguided idea that only Social Control Media that's controlled by China can be sinister and there's almost no discussion about controllers of Twitter; aside from Elon Musk, there's the political influence of 'Gulf States' and Saudi Arabia -- a subject that is well documented but seldom explored in the media. It's not even new! It has gone on for over a decade already.

In our Daily Links we regularly give many examples of people fleeing Twitter, not due to the supposedly controversial policy changes but even worse aspects, such as time-wasting, manipulation, and now even privacy issues. In the video above I explain that, contrary to how media frames it, the main issue should not be "engagement" but more crucial aspects. Maybe the media is just accidentally dodging the real or the biggest problems with Twitter. Or maybe it's intentional. ⬆
