The simple solution to be free of Twitter addiction

Those concerned about a self-promoting billionaire [Elon Musk] controlling online discourse have a simple solution: delete your own Twitter account (Big story, 6 May).

I know that these online platforms have a way of becoming addictive and users feel that they cannot live without their “drug of choice” – but really, we lived for thousands of years without Twitter.

And anything that was so popular with Donald Trump must be suspect – if enough people just delete their accounts, it will die. Martin Coult London, England, UK
