Stop using Twitter. They’re a p0rnography publisher with a side business in running a PR platform.
There should be a complete ban on using Twitter in any official government capacity. They publish videos encouraging murder and suicide. They are absolute slime.

I absolutely agree. And I don’t understand why more isn’t being made in the media generally – including social media – about the CCP’s other evils including running a digital dictatorship and suppressing much about the pandemic. People around the world are pointing the finger at their own governments while allowing Xi and his gang to get away scot-free.
Except it isn’t random “people” blaming their own governments but neo-liberal globalist elites making money from selling out to China who are leading the attacks.

Not actually inconsistent, if you accept that the goal is less fact-checking and more suppressing hate-mongering. Or to put it a different way – Twitter can only stop people from being shitty online, it can’t do anything about them being shitty in real life. So is it really a bad thing that it only polices what you say on its own platform, not whether you actually live up to it elsewhere?
The real test would be if they let the Chinese government say, “no, in fact we do NOT have religious freedom, because some religions are bad and need to be stomped into the ground!” I’m not saying I’m sure they wouldn’t, only that that would be more comparable.

Don`t touch it myself but a couple of my relatives are twitterati in every sense. They are fantastically baitable at family lunches.
Given it’s mostly journalists who use Twitter I suggest the vast majority of Trump’s ‘followers’ are in fact journos. As well as those who are anti-Trump. They need their daily fix from The Donald to get worked up into a frenzy of anger against him!

I’d be happy to shut down all the social media, but then what about Unherd?

The logic of this is so obvious and perfect that a child could have thought of it, although of course I didn’t (despite a pretty serious @Jack allergy). Thanks again Mr Franklin.

I prefer the term “TWIDIOTS.
Twits works nicely for me.
