Exclusive academic data plus testimony from Twitter users backs up their allegations, suggesting hate is thriving under Mr Musk's leadership, with trolls emboldened, harassment intensifying and a spike in accounts following misogynistic and abusive profiles.

The last part is especially funny - a spike in accounts following "wrongthink" profiles.

It's basically an admission that they're mad that a billion dollar mega-corporation isn't running interference for the managerial democracy of Western oligarchs.

If Musk could prevent assassination attempts via the block button, I'm sure he'd just do that instead of hiring bodyguards.

She later resigned. Internal research by Twitter suggests those safety measures reduced trolling by 60%.

They banned & muted people who got snippy with protected minorities instead of allowing fair & round criticism from both sides. It's not exactly some magical set of fair policies that were done away with.
