Why is Musk the wrong person to fix that?
#Gay twitter kids how to
You ask, what happens when the incarnation of a problem buys the right to decide what the problem is and how to fix it? I mean, you're - just to take one example - the bullying and harassment problem on Twitter.

KELLY: You actually take this a little bit farther in your piece for the Times. And Elon Musk thinks that kind of reform, which actually allows more people to speak more freely and safely, is the problem. In other words, efforts that have been made to clamp down on very real problems that you and I see on Twitter every day - which is Nazi speech going unchecked, racism going unchecked, disinformation going unchecked, misogyny, rape threats to women who've made the mistake of having opinions going unchecked - there have been modest - inadequate, but modest efforts in recent years to clamp down. And what he's talking about is the feeling that what is, frankly, content moderation on sites like Twitter and other social media platforms is suppressing free speech. And he's been much more specific about it. But free speech has become a dog whistle in American life in recent years, and Elon Musk means it in a much more specific way. And I'm a big supporter, as I know you are. GIRIDHARADAS: Free speech is a great concept. So when Elon Musk says he wants to promote free speech on the platform, that seems like a good idea in principle. Anand, welcome.ĪNAND GIRIDHARADAS: Thank you so much for having me. In a tweet - where else? - Elon Musk said, quote, "I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means." Well, those critics point out that Twitter can be rife with disinformation and racism and harassment, and they question whether Elon Musk is the right person to address those problems.Īmong those questioning, Anand Giridharadas - he's author of the book "Winners Take All: The Elite Charade Of Changing The World" and wrote about the acquisition for The New York Times opinion section. To other news, the world's richest man is purchasing Twitter for about 44 billion bucks.
