    • 2021 April 14, Cristian Segura, “Ada Colau i Twitter: el risc d’unes xarxes socials massa personals”, in El País‎[1]:
      Entre les raons que va esgrimir, la principal és l'agressivitat tan característica en la manera d'interactuar de molts usuaris d'aquesta xarxa social: “En els últims anys és sabut per tots que la xarxa s'ha omplert de perfils falsos i anònims que intoxiquen i inciten a l'odi”.
      Among the reasons he used, the main one is the aggressiveness so characteristic in the way many users of this social network interact: "In recent years it is known by all that the network has been filled with fake and anonymous profiles that intoxicate and incite hatred".
