Major challenges are ahead for two of social media’s biggest players Twitter and Facebook. According to the Wall Street Journal, Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is installing fear in some advertisers as hate speech could potentially flourish if Musk softens the content moderation policies. Additionally, Meta’s quarterly earnings fell short of expectations sending its stock prices plunging.

Will Twitters previous owners help America once again with a platform to join that is not full of hate and violence??
Will Elon change the direction of Twitter or make another Murdoch Fox TV?
Twitter like Facebook and META use Troll Farms to spread hate and disinformation.
MSNBC should change ! Because it nasty news for people
Sounds like he wants twitter to be the Reddit of social media. Which sounds ok.
Only communists want to own the narrative about explicit speech concerns on Twitter.
I was previously banned for being a Native American writer with colleagues throughout the professional & commercial writing worlds.
I’ve deleted all my social media and my mental health has improved 100% and time has slowed down.
At this rate the internet is gonna be all ads.
Ads on every iPhone yay
I thought the western usually says freedom means you can insult your goverment without being afraid of you going to jail. Hmm…. giving barrier, fowarding democratic or a backward one? Don't get me wrong i only wanted to know and learn
Hate speech is literally a made up word to violate my very 1st and most important right to say whatever I want short of a cridible and imonant threat of direct violence…. You keep violating my rights and it is a direct theat on me. You will learn one way or another. You have 0 say of what anyone has to say. You do not have private companies and you do not usurp my inalienable right… They are unleanable. No lean. no bend. no break. Keep testing me see what comes next. You are all bots of the state. you are mimics of real people who died for your sins. who fought for the 1st amendment. shame on every last one of you cowards.
web 3 decentralization!! why should corporations be the only ones who benefit from out data, privacy???? wake up people
Elon Musk is a crazy African American!
Social media as a whole is the bathroom wall of society, without it we get along better, don't have foreign or domestic governments collecting or selling our personal information and aren't being tracked like cattle, I say let the entire social media empire crash and burn!
YouTube is my only social media account
The number one social media site for married republican men is still Grindr.
All of the sane people should leave Twitter now. I left a year ago and it's been heaven. Free your mind. I still see some content on YT. If he let's trump back then you know that our country will continue in this unending free fall.
It's a fact that democrats only win if there is division on race
TikTok is next!
Any social media platform that hosts Donald Trump is destined to be a sewer of treason, racism, domestic terrorism, and misogyny. It will be dominated by males. And then it will fail.
“Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences” this gives me hope that racism and online harassment/bullying will decline on Twitter. Cause right now that’s all twitter is.
Excuse me but there's no such thing as freedom of speech on social media. Social media is bound by federal statutes governing hate speech and making threats. Aside from that, social media places restrictions, terms and conditions on joining it's platform. Like any private club you join, there are rules and a code of behavior that you agree to follow in order to join. Therefore, there is no exclusive right to freedom of speech on social media.
Oh how the woke shake.
If Elon Musk wants vile Donald Oranga Fraudster Election Denier, Mexican hater Trump back into Twitter, he should learn more about American constitution the South African
You mean hate speech against democrats.
Cause Twitter allows hate speech against republicans
Just deleted my Twitter account. Seems like they are all dying out.
Social media needs to decline
President Trump back on Twitter!
👆 – NЕW А DАТING ONLINE 🍒💋s🥰
Yeah, about to go bankrupt.
I have delete my account on twitter for good frome sweden here 🇸🇪
If Musk hinders the normal workings of American society, which are NOT based on his doings, he needs to go. Silencing him in this case would be self-destruction as a government but neutralize him out of the country. USA belongs to the People and NOT 1 man
