**On this week’s podcast, we take a look at social media platform Twitter, and the impact of Elon Musk’s controversial takeover.**

Ali and Paul talk to Vice disinformation reporter [David Gilbert](https://www.vice.com/en/contributor/david-gilbert?ref=theferret.scot) about how Musk’s stewardship has resulted in increasing far-right and anti-semitic presence on the platform, where Twitter’s content moderation has failed, and whether Musk himself enables the far-right and conspiracy theories in his tweets.

Elsewhere on [For Fact’s Sake](https://www.theferret.scot/for-facts-sake-podcast/), we look into the controversy around highly protected marine areas (HPMAs), and assess some inaccurate reporting of Sadiq Khan’s recently revealed health scare.
