When the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, bought Twitter, the company was thrown into chaos.
I'm looking for something that's like, broadly, as broadly inclusive as possible, that's as trusted as possible as a system, and.

I try to log in and my email is just not working anymore.
And that's when I knew that I.
Had been laid off.
It's not so much the concern of, you know, the hellscape right now, it's the chaos.
Elon Musk says that he will begin restoring previously banned Twitter accounts.
For the past few months, I've been investigating what that chaos means for people that use Twitter.
Current and former employees have been telling me their concerns that under Musk's leadership, the social media site can no longer protect users from trolls and other harmful content.
When I published my report, I caught Musk's attention.
He tweeted, sorry for turning Twitter from nurturing paradise into place that has trolls and have to admit, trolls are kind of fun.
And it wasn't just his attention I caught.
An army of troll accounts joined in and a deluge of hate came my way.
And it's not just me who's received more abuse since the Twitter takeover.
I'm Mariana Spring, the BBC's disinformation and social media correspondent, and this is Trolled from BBC trending.

But first, we're looking at Twitter itself and how after the richest person in the world bought the company, hate is thriving.
The trolls are back.
