LADA Leaves Twitter After Facing “Vicious” Homophobic Attacks That Were Not Removed By Platform

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office (LADA) has announced that it will be leaving Twitter due to a barrage of “vicious” homophobic attacks that were not removed by the social media platform, even after they were reported.

The LADA said that its post celebrating its first known entry into a Pride parade was met with a barrage of offensive comments that left them deeply troubled. The comments ranged from homophobic and transphobic slurs to sexually explicit and graphic images.

The LADA said that the comments were the culmination of a series of distressing comments over time, and that they had reported the offensive comments to Twitter, but that the platform had failed to take any action.

The LADA said that it had no choice but to leave Twitter due to the platform’s failure to take action against the offensive comments. The LADA said that it was committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all members of the community, and that it could not do that on a platform that allowed such offensive comments to remain.

The LADA said that it was committed to continuing to work with the community to create a safe and inclusive environment, and that it would continue to do so, even without the use of Twitter.
