Famous businessman Elon Musk first bought shares from the social media platform Twitter. Elon Musk, who compared the platform to a city square, said that he wanted Twitter to be a more free and democratic place. Therefore, he wanted to buy the social platform completely to turn it into a private space.
According to the research report prepared by academics and writers on an independent news site, Twitter may not be as free as Elon Musk mentioned if it buys it. Because social media has a lot of diversity, especially due to the fact that there are fake accounts and there are people from all audiences. Where there are too many people, too many ideas arise. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Does Twitter freedom bring restrictions?
According to researches, Elon Musk’s change of Twitter within the scope of freedom of expression will reveal other problems. Because people who are harassed through social media do not get enough support. In other words, although Musk’s liberation policy seems correct in theory, according to the report, it is not expected in the same way in practice.
According to reports, women, marginalized people and disabled individuals are targeted the most in online harassment. Users who cannot find sufficient support after harassment find the last resort by closing their accounts and withdrawing completely.
Abused and insulted social media people experience emotional and psychological trauma. Sometimes it even leads to social isolation. But there may also be measures that Elon Musk will take before he buys Twitter and makes it more liberal.
