A Christian content creator explains what on earth is going on with social media at the moment

Influencer John Reynolds explains why, despite the recent ”Twitter” to “X” turbulence, he’ll be sticking with social media, plus why he believes other Christians should too.

You’ve probably already noticed but social media seems to be all over the shop at the moment; Elon Musk is running Twitter like he’s a newly qualified Youth Pastor, fresh out of Bible college, desperate to put his stamp on the group of adolescent Christains. Seriously, the parallels are uncanny - in his first year he promised it would be safe place for everyone, then he randomly started banning people, and now he’s changed the name and logo.

Then we have the US government so paranoid about the potential power of social media, that they’re wanting to ban foreign-owned platforms like TikTok. The fear is that sensitive information will get into the hands of the Chinese government. Although, perhaps with good cause, given that even US owned social media platforms have been manipulated in recent years by foreign powers.
