Perspective: How bad can Sports Twitter be? If Elon Musk succeeds, we’ll find out.
we already fight like children on this here cesspool of an app.Plenty. Every day will be April Fools’ Day on Sports Twitter. There’s already a proliferation of fake news generated by users with too much time on their hands, but imagine even moreAdvertisement
We have grown accustomed to believing that the amount of followers someone has equates to their veracity. So when those graphic images that feature an athlete or coach and their juicy quotes in big, block letters appear in our timeline, we’re programmed to trust it. But imagine more fake news outletsto real people, such as Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Jr. dissing the 2020 Lakers championship.
Also, athletes should be ready for even more well-thought-out and insightful comments from egg profiles. If anything goes, as Musk wishes, there would be no recourse in stopping verbal abuse from the Twitter Thugs who feel emboldened to post their most vile thoughts under the cover of anonymity. Many users on the platform have been banned in the past for spreading misinformation; a quibble of those who decry Twitter as a form of censorship. Although we should vigilantly fight for free speech and evict ourselves from our own echo chambers, we must also be mature enough to know the difference between unshackled expression and straight-up lies. Free speech should be protected. The open-door accessibility to deceive and negatively influence the public should not.
