The labour movement and Twitter

from RadioLabourCanada · host MarcBelanger

What happens if Twitter shuts down? Or, becomes even more noxiously right-wing? LabourStart - the labour movement's news and campaigning service - has produced a programme exploring what unionists can do if Twitter closes or Elon Musk uses it to promote racist, misogynist, anti-LGBT+ and antisemitic views. "Musk, himself, is not neutral. He doesn't pretend to be neutral. Lots of these tech billionaires act like 'we just provide a service; we have no views.' Musk is not like that. Musk is very clear about his views. His views are far-right." - Eric Lee, founder editor of LabourStart  RadioLabour is the international labour movement's radio service. It reports on labour union events around the world with a focus on unions in the developing world. It partners with rabble to provide coverage of news of interest to Canadian workers.
