To leave or not to leave X. This is the debate that has continued since far-right billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter and which intensified after Donald Trump’s electoral victory. This is a complex dilemma in which both options have advantages and disadvantages. Despite this, I am committed to a coordinated abandonment of this network and I will try to explain the reasons.
I start at the end, with the argument that I think should weigh the most when deciding. Musk controls the algorithms, the guts of the computer programs that govern the functioning of the social network, he decides what he wants us to see or not, he eliminates subscribers, blocks accounts… Being in X, we are between his hands. It’s not (just) that there are a lot of Nazis on this social network. It is not (just) impunity for criminals, pedophiles, hate generators and tyrants. The problem is that the rules and board of the game we share with these crowds are run by one of the leaders of the far-right global cartel. An equally opaque table and rules. This is not a card game in which we see that they are deceiving us; This is a virtual game in which we do not know when and to what extent we are being deceived.
