Twitter’s former censor has been forced to flee the $1.1m Bay Area mansion he shares with his boyfriend after Elon Musk shared part of his thesis which suggested letting children access gay hook-up app Grindr.
Yoel Roth, 34, and his partner Nicholas Madsen, 44, moved out of their two-bed, two-bath property in El Cerrito over fears for their safety, the Washington Post reported.
The tweet said to have sparked the move saw Musk write: ‘Looks like Yoel is in favor of letting children being able to access adult internet services in his PhD thesis.’
He shared a screenshot of part of said document.
Roth’s thesis, written in 2016 while at the University of Pennsylvania, saw him claim that many under-18s access gay hook-up app Grindr, despite being too young to do so.
He then suggested that an age-appropriate version of the app be created, in order to offer support to LGBT youth.
Roth Tweeted numerous anti-Trump diatribes and was instrumental in getting Trump banned from Twitter.
Good riddance.
