🧵for more than two years we have urged Twitter’s leadership to prioritize safety and hold the platform accountable to its own community standards. Today, the platform is unrecognizable, so we’re stepping away. Here’s why. ⬇️.

You might wonder why we’re still on other social media platforms we're fighting to hold accountable—but they are… well… dominant. We need to meet people where they’re at, and we’re hopeful they’ll partner with us – and you – in creating the digital world we deserve.

By engaging here, we risk feeding an algorithm that amplifies anger and hate, exposing our followers and allies to abuse. We can’t, in good conscience, continue to bring our community into such a toxic environment.

So why did we stay? For over two years, we stayed because the platform was a critical tool for raising awareness, informing the public, and sharing our insights on making the internet safer. But X is no longer that platform.

X has even undermined basic safety tools. The “block” feature, once a vital line of defense, no longer fully shields users, as blocked individuals can still view public posts. This erosion of safety tools makes the platform feel more unsafe than ever.

And today, November 15, X is changing its terms of service to allow all user content to be used for training third-party models. This change jeopardizes users’ privacy.

X cut entire content safety teams, reducing oversight, and letting harmful content thrive. There’s little accountability, and hateful content is not banned. We cannot support a platform that abandons user safety.

Key point: "European regulators said Meta had given itself an unfair advantage over rival services by bundling Marketplace into Facebook’s wider social network."

These voluntary best practices encourage companies to monitor and report suspicious activity. While it's a step in the right direction, there should be enforceable rules on the books *before* these products hit the market.

#11—European regulators fined Meta $840 million, claiming the company gave themselves an unfair advantage by tying Facebook Marketplace, their shopping and classified ads service, to the social network.

Great, yet another way for Meta to surveil users and keep them endlessly scrolling.

In a time where reproductive health is under attack and Big Tech openly sends your location data with law enforcement, we can't afford any vulnerabilities like this.

Meta's products are exploiting children and jeopardizing democracies around the world, but Mark Zuckerberg has more important things to do.

Tech platforms, especially Meta, facilitate and monetize child sexual abuse. Multiple lawsuits continue to expose their abhorrent business practices. What's it going to take for Big Tech to protect vulnerable users over profit?
