14 February (Part 2) - Thanks Elon

Twitter The censorship that affects Social Media platforms has reduced a little since Elon Musk bought Twitter but technically it has had its problems. One account holder that I follow changed his name to something rather rude to make a short term point just before Twitter disallowed further name changes, and causing him to be the subject of much ribaldry until Elon had the algorithm corrected about a month later.

For several weeks past I have been subjected to sometimes pornographic jokes from an account I had previously never heard of and certainly wouldn’t follow.

Journalist Andrew Neil is evidently suffering much the same; we are being shown Tweets we would rather not see because someone we follow is liking them.

I am on the receiving end of mild porn because two people I follow are liking it. One is a Councillor and the other a lady known to Council watchers who probably considers herself to be a pillar of the local establishment.

I think I will stop ‘liking’ Tweets because it may give away more information than I had bargained for.
