Veteran tech journalist Walt Mossberg announced on Tuesday he was deactivating his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, saying Elon Musk’s takeover of the site turned it into a “cesspool.”

Mr Mossberg is a well-respected name and expert in the US tech writing industry, who also co-founded media sites such as Recode and AllThingsD. He announced his boycotting of X on Meta’s new platform Threads, saying his reasons revolve around business tycoon Mr Musk’s threats to sue the Anti-Defemation League (ADL).

    Your comment supposes that transphobia and bigotry are not problems in younger generations, and, well, this is absolutely incorrect.

    Maybe measuring social metrics isn’t best done by using arbitrary and artificial labels for entire groups of people?

    Nah, it’s gotta be those older folks, right, because you’re young and free and wild and some shit.
