There’s always bad stuff on the internet if you look for it, but I have to admit I didn’t really grasp the extent to which literal, full-on pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler, and explicitly racist content is now genuinely popular and flourishing on X until I started reporting on it. It has become the Nazi bar.
“The Congressional report published today confirms what we long suspected: the FBI investigation of then-nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh was, in fact, a sham effort directed by the Trump White House to silence victims and witnesses and to hide the truth" www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Ok but what if instead we stay on Twitter because the algorithm might mistake us for a Nazi & let a reporter see our takes? Surely that would be worth crippling some young women, right?
More reasons to not just leave Twitter, but to burn it to the ground. There used to be upside to the site, but more, whether you’re talking politics, national events, or literally adolescents’ health, there is none. 1/
X is just the latest platform to struggle with these user groups, where young teens can fall down a rabbit hole of content that promotes extreme thinness.
