The New Wild West of Social Media.  The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell.  The guest is Jeff Portnoy.    Elon Musk owns Twitter lock stock and barrel. The first thing he does is terminate those employees that monitor content, hate speech. With his philosophy that there will be few limitations of the First Amendment--free speech--content monitoring is an inconvenient overhead expense. Since his purchase, slurs against Black Americans increased to 3,876 posts per day from 1,282. Antisemitic posts soared 61% in the first two weeks. Slurs against gay men averaged 2,506 prior to Musk's purchase. It now stands at an average of 3,964 posts. QAnon groups paid for Twitter's stamp of approval for 'verified status'. They received it. Trump's Twitter posts to encourage the MAGA GOP is no longer needed. Extremist hate groups are doing just fine on their own, thanks to Elon.  The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6kJ276rzD7XCodasnTPPCOG  Please visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.
