You're struggling to read again
Twitter had a moderation team that was at least trying and could show it was attempting to meet the minimums legally required stuff, and enough to try and reassure advertisers (who were, and I emphasise, were) Twitters primary income.
Then Musk basically said "we're going to do away with any real moderation", scared off the main income source for twitter, then saddled it with a massive amount of debt tripling it's monthly losses in a single stroke, got rid of every last one of the people that could have given some assurances to the advertisers that their products were not going to be advertised next to explicitly illegal content or people getting rape and death threats and you say that moderation is expensive.
Moderation costs money, not moderating a social media platform is far more expensive as you can no longer get any advertisers*, and you are opening your company, and potentially yourself personally up for all sorts of legal fun times if you can't show you've made even just a modest but realistic attempt, and even got rid of the people that you are legally required to have in order to operate in several jurisdictions.
It's amazing how you are aware that twitter was losing money, but think it was some sort of genius idea to saddle the company with so much debt that it's losses instantly tripled, whilst having no plan for dealing with even it's original debt other than fire people at random without any clue who they were, or indeed your legal obligations.
*or at least the ones that actually paid a reasonable amount.
That woman is a reflection of those who got triggered by my post.
You misunderstand what you're doing.
Posting media instead of words doesn't change that it's a gateway into your thoughts.
So you've shared that you're thinking of screaming women as you post, great.
Oh the highly edited and selective twitter files?
The ones that showed that most of the "intelligence community" were doing exactly what the law required them to do to, and that Twitter under it's previous management also did what the law required them to do?
IE US law says that if law enforcement require information from a company to identify potential criminals or as part of an investigation then the law enforcement agency has to cover the costs of retrieving that information so that it's not an undue burden on private companies.
Or that US law enforcement were requesting information on criminals.
Or that people were asking, through the proper channels for Twitter to enforce it's own terms and conditions of service.

No wonder he is so hysterical.
Leaning on the exclamation mark to say that someone is hysterical.
Maybe someone is hysterical.
Oh please do share what was this experience of yours that was worse than being a slave?
Did someone disagree with you on Twitter?

Whatever you're smoking I want some
Delusion like that normally isn't cheap though.How is telling someone they are going to be raped or murdered "debate"?
If some dude tells you he is going to rape you and you allow it?
You have to at least resist or say 'NO', did you say 'NO'?
It doesn't sound like you got raped, I don't know.

I thought maybe you were actually interested in a debate. It seems not. What a surprise.
Oh really because it looked like you were asking me for drugs just 20 minutes ago.

There is this thing called humour. That post was delusional, its been shown that both left and right had people banned and the right got promoted more by the algorithm as they tended to post more controversial content and so generated more clicks.
Clearly I wasn't talking about someone threatening to rape me or kill me. You knew that though.
So you are fine with such threats on Twitter. If you aren't you'd be concerned that Elon has left Twitter with virtually zero moderation staff?
Was it clear?, why would I think it would be about anyone else. I don't recall having a conversation about rape with you previously.
You just randomly brought it up, so I thought its one of those 'asking for a friend' when it's really about you.
Well that's just a flat out lie and those who keep repeating these lies are dishonest in their arguments, which is most of you.
I have had 3 people suspended going through the complaints process for abuse on Twitter, this is in the last 2 months.

Are there some specific Tweets you've reported that you find disturbing or are you just speculating that there's a lack of moderation? What evidence is there to suggest Twitter is turning into some lawless place where death threats and rape threats are occurring?

BBC News - How Elon Musk's tweets unleashed a wave of hate
How Elon Musk's tweets unleashed a wave of hate
The Twitter owner's response to a BBC investigation highlights how abuse is thriving on the platform.
www.bbc.co.uk
Says enough but it's easy to find more evidence, or look further into that mentioned in the article.
Pair that with musks genius idea to promote users tweets if they've paid the £8 per month fee, those troll users can now even easier get to the top of others feeds.
It does amaze me that everything points to the moderation being worse under Musk and these being the side effects, and roar can't help but defend that and put down anyone who wants better moderation of hate/sexual/rale messages. That's literally all that's being asked, elon/twitter do better, and roar dismissing it and says its fine, and then other users say, you should expect it, and it's fine because it doesn't happen to them, and that going on twitter = getting rape messages.
Does roar think so little of Elon that he doesn't think Elon can do better? It seems so.
Depends what circles you're in probably. I don't see any hate or disturbing content, and i spend more time on Twitter than OCUK. Tribal warriors who aren't interested in debate and conversation probably see it far more frequently than i do.
