Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen announced Monday that he is deactivating his office's Twitter account, saying hate speech has exploded on the platform following Elon Musk's takeover.
, Rosen criticized the company's new owner over his recent actions, including allowing accounts that were previously banned back onto the platform.
"Anyone who uses Twitter has noticed the proliferation of extremist posts in their daily feed. Many of these handles were previously banned by Twitter because they spread hatred and bigotry. Now they are back. That is not free speech. It is a cynical marketing strategy," Rosen went on to say. The district attorney concluded his statement by urging other prosecutors to drop their Twitter accounts.
