In addition to suspended accounts, there are also those who have left of their own free will, out of protest or distrust. Whoopi Goldberg, for example, is one of the latest stars to leave Twitter. Here is how she motivated her decision as follows during her show The View: “It’s been a little over a week since Elon Musk took control of Twitter and this place is a disaster. I leave because everything is so messy and I’m tired of seeing accounts blocked for every reason. If in the future it will be different I’ll be back, but for now I’m done with Twitter ”.
