I was watching a twitter clip about a cute dog, then scrolled down looking for more cute animal clips, but no.
Progressively I saw boob pics then a porn scene. WOW!
That has never happened before.
I don't have a twitter account, I just watch the clips people post on DU.
Is anyone else seeing this change?

Members of Twitters Trust and Safety Council received an email with the subject line, Thank You, that informed them the council was no longer the best structure to bring external insights into our product and policy development work......
In less than two months, Musk has undone years of investments in trust and safety at Twitter dismissing key parts of the workforce and bringing back accounts that previously had been suspended. As the body unravels, Musk is tightening his grip on decisions about the future of content moderation at Twitter, with less input from outside experts.
The move is just throwing away years of institutional memory that we on the council have brought to the company, said one council member who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to concerns about harassment on the platform. Getting external experts and advocates looking at your services makes you smarter.......
Twitter first formed the Trust and Safety Council in 2016, as social networks were coming under greater scrutiny for their role in amplifying hate, terrorism, child exploitation and other problematic content online. The council convened a wide range of civil society groups, think tanks and even some of Silicon Valleys biggest critics. Twitter executives would regularly brief the council on new products in development and policies.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, a non-profit that promotes press freedom around the world, decried the dissolution of the council. Safety online can mean survival offline," the groups president, Jodie Ginsburg, said in a statement. Todays decision to dissolve the Trust and Safety Council is cause for grave concern, particularly as it is coupled with increasingly hostile statements by Twitter owner Elon Musk about journalists and the media.
I dont understand the logic of doing this when many of these relationships were hard fought to develop, said another member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the councils dissolution.

There have been times when I scroll my feed it and no longer loads. If I switch from seeing Top tweets to New tweets then it seems to work itself out.
I have also noticed that I'm seeing from people I follow... old likes from years ago but they are not new retweets or likes. Yesterday one was from 2018.
