Prepare for a whole new level of online harassment.
Of course, the announcement of voice and video calling features was met with confusion and much-bewildered anger as users came to grips with the possibility of their DMs blowing up with calls from absolute strangers. These new features essentially open the floodgates for women, professionals, small business owners, and prominent online figures to receive non-stop harassment.
People will be able to call other users up directly and leave voice notes that are full of hate speech, insults, and threats. It’s already very easy to tweet or send disturbing and harmful things to users on Twitter, and this will only make things worse. The fault with Elon’s logic of ‘you won’t have to give anyone your number for them to contact you’ is that at least you can usually choose who has your number and find out how your number may have been shared. Twitter is an incredibly public platform where people share their thoughts and opinions in bite-sized chunks . Any tweet or stance that i random person on the site might take a dislike to can all too easily result in spamming and harassment.
The study I mentioned above noted that 9 in 10 women opt to limit their online activity, further increasing the online gender divide, and I can admit to doing the same. I refrain from using Twitter in an open, carefree way because I know how quickly the harassment can follow, and should Musk persevere with the update, we’ll see a lot more women limit their Twitter use or straight-up leave.
