Los Angeles Times: The DA for Northern California's Largest Prosecutor's Office Quits Twitter. Here's why

The Santa Clara County district attorney has announced that he’s leaving Twitter due to a rise in extremist posts following the purchase of the social media company by billionaire Elon Musk.

Jeff Rosen, who runs the largest prosecutor’s office in Northern California, made the announcement Monday on his office’s Twitter account.

“As Americans, we have the freedom to loudly express our political opinions and strongly disagree with each other,” he wrote in the statement. “However, when that speech crosses the line into hatred, racism and antisemitism, all of our precious and hard-fought freedoms are undermined, and our democracy is weakened. Every American has a moral obligation to fight against hate speech. There are many ways to do that, large and small. Here’s one way: Quit Twitter. My Office — the largest prosecutor’s office in Northern California — is quitting Twitter.”
