The amount of data Elon Musk would have access to if he privatized Twitter 'cannot be compared to anything that has ever existed': report

A former Harvard professor told The Washington Post that having one person in control of the social platform is a disaster for user privacy.

Shoshana Zuboff, the former professor and author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, said that the social media industry has changed because of huge ad revenues and unregulated data collection.

She said that the people in control of the sites hold a lot of power because of the content on social media platforms.

She said that putting that power in the hands of a single person would be incompatible with democracy.

There are no checks and balances from any internal or external force, according to The Washington Post.

Musk would have complete control over the amount of user data and the integrity of collective behavior if he took ownership of the company.

This is a disaster, and it is not only about Musk, but he puts it on steroids, according to The Washington Post.
