The latest on Twitter / X
It appears that many people outside of the UK have little idea what has been taking place over the past week here and Elon Musk's role in it.

In our petition we write:
“Our elected politicians .. continue to be intimidated and threatened on these platforms, .. and democratic institutions are attacked.“ Therefore
„We call on universities 👨🎓 and other higher education institutions in Germany to shut down their accounts on X (formerly Twitter) as soon as possible. … At the same time, a presence should be established on #Mastodon 🐘 and other #Fediverse 🌳 servers“
