The Dark side of Twitter

Today I decided that the twitter account that I had had for many years, is  to be deleted...It's now gone...
Here are the reasons, whether they have some evidence behind them, I shall try my best to show you all...


Via marketing magazine

and I quote

"Twitter has an evil side too and sadly it’s easy to access Social media has its perils especially when it comes to sexual predators on the internet. Child pornography is an alarming issue and it is disturbingly easy to find this on Twitter."

Also, I have had many friends, some of who have been verified, have complained that they are monitored, especially if they are anti-Trump?? their tweets are almost hacked and rolled back or just deleted without their knowledge. Or when you search again for the person who has been followed, it says "person not found" or you just lose followers? so if they can just remove things, they can also add followers like Trump's millions of fake followers? or celebrity followers disappear altogether? Is this fair? of course not. But that's twitter so it seems! sadly. 

This is worrying, as social media platforms should be unbiased. And should give everyone a voice. 

If you complain you get your account suspended. A tactic that seems rife supposedly! 

Here is an extensive list of account suspensions  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_suspensions#List_of_notable_suspensions

The internet is rife with complaints about twitters handling of suspensions or locking, and all you get is an automated response! 

I think its time to do a boycott like we did a couple of years ago! Twitter wouldn't be Twitter without its users! They need to be more open about their use of our information or how they treat their customers! 

I do not like the dark side of this, hate the fact that people are abused or bullied! There is far too much of this going on. 

Be careful out there...

  1. How strange! We have also deleted our buisness account on twitter. Due to some very similar reasons... We find that Linkdin is more profesional and safer way to put our products on and build a customer base on there. Not the ever flowing spewing of hatred politics and twitter based controls that we found on Twitter. So its #GoodbyeTwitter!

    1. Dont blame you.. I have done the same and my account was verified too... So much less stress actually.. Im not even a n instagram user, so this is a nice change. I like Linkdin too! Do not like the fact that a social media outlet manipulates your account without your knowledge! Good blog by the way.

  11. We deleted our Twitter account yesterday. There are plenty other social media platforms to use, especially ones that do not have deranged orange people on them daily inciting wars and violence!
