A few days ago, Saint Pauli she was the one who opened the… dance of departures from the online platform “X”, with her Werder Bremen to follow her and become the second Bundesliga team to boycott the former Twitter!
As in the decision of Saint Pauli, so also now, the owner of “X” played a decisive role in the decision of the “greens” to withdraw from the said social media. Elon Musk.
Specifically, through its announcement, the Bremen team explained them reasons which led her to throw… black on this platform, saying that since it passed into the ownership of the founder of Tesla, the hate speechthe transphobic and anti-Semitic comments, but also the discrimination towards minorities have surpassed all precedents, while the club’s detractors accuse Musk of using the “X” as a political “weapon” in his election Donald Trump.
The statement from Werder Bremen:
“Since Elon Musk took over the platform, hate speech, hatred of minorities, right-wing extremist posts and conspiracy theories have been allowed to proliferate at an incredible rate, all under the guise of free speech.
The radicalization of the platform is actively driven by Elon Musk and his personal posts, which include transphobic and anti-Semitic comments, as well as spreading conspiracy narratives.
Now nothing is currently being tracked on the platform. Algorithms and decision making on Twitter are completely opaque processes.
In addition, Elon Musk uses the social network as a political weapon, as was recently seen during the US elections.
Werder takes a clear stand against hate, hate speech, discrimination and exclusion. It is proud to stand up for diversity, freedom and democracy, as well as for cohesion and solidarity in society.
With the recent radicalization of the platform, the line has been crossed for the club. Werder is therefore leaving Twitter immediately and we hope that our more than 600,000 followers will follow the club on the platform on Bluesky in the future.”
