If you look at what happened at Twitter in the time before Musk bought it, one could argue that it's already been extremely political - just not on the side the EU would like.
its quite a bit different. Jack Dorsey wasn’t appointed to a government position, he also wasn’t nearly as vocally extreme as twitters current owner.
also, it’s we don’t even have to speculate, the current owner has been very vocal that in addition to directly joining the current administration, he plans to be even more heavily involved in influencing politics around the world.
i can absolutely understand why journalists would want to distance that piece of their toolkit from his platform.
honestly, id be more skeptical of journalists who don’t move to other pastures.
