Should DU Remove Twitter Content?

44. I get the desire based on Musk's actions and future concerns, but much of what we hear from Ukraine

comes from their use of Twitter--likewise Iran and other areas facing a crisis that SHOULD concern us all. Obviously, disinformation bots use it too and that requires discerning readers.

I posted a thread yesterday looking at some of the most respected legal, political, and journalistic sources on Twitter and whether or not they were staying there (for now). I'm not registered on Twitter, but I bookmarked the web address for their streams and follow them that way. It seems to me that many are staying for now and that includes some invaluable sources for us to know what our opponents and political "enemies" are doing behind the scenes--including any threats to democracy.

If this were merely a matter of losing celebrity news or overwhelming misinformation sources that accompany hate and bigotry, I'd be with you. But this is a double-edged sword right now.

Your reasons for wanting it banned here are the same ones that prevented me from EVER registering--even before Musk. But the reasons for thinking it should not still remain.
