In October 2022, Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter. Almost a year later and we have witnessed the gutting of the content moderation department, a huge increase in hate speech, and in real terms the end to API-based researcher access to data. Twitter (or ‘X’) isn’t just unfriendly but actually unsafe for many more people.
For these reasons, the Association of Internet Researchers has decided that we will be ramping down our use of Twitter, effective immediately.
