Elon Musk and Twitter have become the great topic of conversation in the last two months. The American tycoon is one of the most controversial and eccentric men in popular culture today. We never know where it can come out. As an example, a button: since his arrival on the social network, he has fired four executives, sent 3,500 employees to the streets and introduced measures that no one had requested and that no one has positively valued within the ecosystem either. The function was restored due to the barrage of criticism on Twitter Elon Musk’s latest controversy with Twitter has arisen as a result of the removal of the suicide prevention function within the social network. After revealing this news, Ella Irwin, director of Trust and Security of the company, had to come to the fore to calm the waters. “We have been fixing and improving this feature, only temporarily removing it in the process,” she promised. “A recovery is expected next week.” Apparently, the latest news warns that the suicide prevention function is now available again on Twitter. That is, it has been returned to normality. However, there has been no shortage of criticism from Elon Musk. Many believe that this means that the businessman is up to one of his own; others, that the social network has restored said function due to the virulent reaction of the public, totally against an incomprehensible measure. Why did Elon Musk remove suicide prevention? This suicide prevention feature on Twitter is also known as #ThereIsHelp. It can be found at the top of the social network, during some search results for contact details of many support groups related to mental health illnesses, HIV, gender violence, coronavirus, vaccines, catastrophes nature and even freedom of expression. In fact, its removal by Elon Musk could be related to this last concept. Critics of this strange unpredictable decision feared that the removal of #ThereIsHelp would have a negative effect on the most vulnerable groups that are part of the Twitter community. Elon Musk stated a few days ago that, since he took over the social network, the number of negative and toxic content has decreased considerably within the platform. He went so far as to share a graph that demonstrated it. It is speculated that he removed suicide prevention precisely to support the argument that he has decreased toxicity in social networks after his leadership on Twitter. However, researchers and civil rights groups have reported an increase in racist tweets and other hateful content since Elon Musk acquired the company. >
