Criticism of Twitter

X, formerly known as Twitter, has faced various criticisms over the years, particularly concerning content moderation, censorship, and platform management.

Twitter has faced intensified controversy since the company's acquisition by Elon Musk (in October 2022). Issues such as handling of misinformation and disinformation, proliferation of hate speech, suspension of journalists' accounts, and temporary measures like labeling media outlets as "state-affiliated" and restricting their visibility have sparked criticism. Twitter continues to struggle with challenges such as viral misinformation, hate speech, and antisemitism controversies.

Twitter is also blocked by several governments. Currently, the platform is blocked in six countries around the world: China, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia and Turkmenistan.
