In an unprecedented move, Twitter has suspended dozens of accounts of influencers and media outlets in Spain, causing a huge uproar in the digital world. There are many theories on Twitter, and the reality is that the social network is sinking deeper every day and becoming less recognizable.
This action, which affects many influencers and media outlets, has been carried out under the argument of combating misinformation and promoting a safer online environment. Or so it is assumed, since Twitter says they cannot respond to the specific question because they are very busy.
According to sources close to Twitter, these suspensions are in line with their usage policy, which prohibits the dissemination of misleading or harmful content. However, many affected users express their confusion and concern, claiming that they have not received clear explanations about the reasons behind the suspension of their accounts.
Among the affected profiles are both independent disseminators and established media outlets, which has fueled the debate about freedom of expression in the digital sphere.
Some experts warn about the risk of covert censorship, while others support the measures of the social network now called X (formerly Twitter) as a way to protect users from the proliferation of false information. But that is not the case, hence the doubts and concerns.
Some users believe that it could be a result of Twitter’s new algorithm, which claims to combat clickbait, but experts do not believe that is the reason.
In this scenario, it is expected that Elon Musk, who has fired 80% of Twitter’s staff since taking over the company, provides an explanation in the next few hours, as the situation is important enough to act quickly if he does not want the situation to get out of control.
