DestroyTwitter - Why Advertisers Should Stop Spending Money on Twitter

DestroyTwitter is a lightweight AIR-based desktop app that allows you to enhance Twitter by making changes and adding themes. It also lets you filter out specific users and hashtags, which is great if you're trying to control your tweets.

A few weeks ago, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, a move some say was fueled by his desire to make the platform more free speech-friendly. That could mean removing certain rules or allowing some people to re-appear after they've been banned from the site, such as former President Trump.

But a number of human rights activists are now calling on Twitter's advertisers to stop spending their money on the platform, saying that Musk's policies are "fueling" hate speech and promoting sex-slurs and racist imagery. They're urging companies to freeze their advertising until they can be sure that Twitter will enforce new measures to prevent election meddling.

It's an incredibly important issue, because if Twitter loses its ability to police content, it could become a cesspool of hate and violence. And it's a situation that will only get worse, according to experts.

Old Twitter - the one before this - had a strong sense of civic responsibility, which Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, said he was trying to re-instill in the company. Employees believed they were working to help users and to make the world a better place.

But it hasn't worked out that way, and now the company is in disarray. A few employees have been laid off, and there's an increasingly loud outcry over the way things are being run.
