It is EXTREMELY URGENT that government agencies, emergency groups, and others who have over time become dependent on #Twitter to disseminate important announcements to the public, now move quickly to prepare alternative methods (which they really should have already).
It is clear that Musk's behavior is decimating Twitter as a reliable platform for reaching the public without interference, and since Musk now says he will let all hate speech and disinformation that is "not illegal or spam" be propagated on Twitter, even from previously suspended accounts, Twitter will now rapidly become of zero value as a source of trustworthy information on any topics.
DO NOT DELAY!
@lauren As someone who works in public safety, Twitter and facebook posts were always supplemental. Non urgent info like road closures was always posted various places online and in actual emergencies texts are automatically sent out to all phones in a given area to warn people about danger associated with extreme weather events or active threats. If people stop using Twitter it literally changes nothing in terms of emergency services.
