Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino has just announced the cancellation of her scheduled speech at the upcoming Wall Street Journal Tech Live event next week. Her reasoning appears to be linked to the ongoing global turmoil, as she stated, “With the development of the global crisis, my team and I must continue to focus wholeheartedly on ensuring the safety of the Twitter platform.” The term “ global crisis ” mentioned here almost certainly refers to the conflict in Israel, which has led to the widespread uploading of disturbing videos on the Twitter platform.
