Twitter CEO fires two top executives, freezes hiring
I&#x27;ve been using Twitter since it&#x27;s main novelty was that it was a successful Ruby on Rails app, and honestly I&#x27;ve been trying to figure out where the exit is for my personal use of Twitter lately. If the acquisition goes through, Twitter won&#x27;t make enough money to service it&#x27;s debt, and the things they will do to fix that are pretty much guaranteed to lower the quality of the platform, which frankly has never worked very well for me anyways. The fact that they&#x27;re doing a leadership purge right now is not helping my opinion on this.<p>I also think the proposal to have Twitter allow all content that is &quot;legal under US law&quot; is a dangerous idea for the platform being a healthy community that most people actually want to participate in. Content moderation debates have never been so ham-fisted as they are online so I won&#x27;t try here, suffice to say there&#x27;s some pretty horrible, disgusting things that are &quot;legal under US law&quot; (and as a content moderator, I&#x27;ve seen them all). If Twitter allows people to do them, it will make it difficult for Twitter to maintain a healthy community, and the platform could quickly devolve into a scarychan-style sewer that only the craziest people on the internet will want to dwell in. To say nothing about whether advertisers will tolerate some of it, or even Apple&#x27;s app store.
