Criticism missing

Where is the criticism section? The page "Criticism of Twitter" is a redirect to a "criticism" section that doesn't exist. Why does the article contain only positive things about it? By contrast, the Facebook page has not only a rogue's gallery of criticism about it, but also an entire page related to Criticism of Facebook. 183.83.147.38 (talk) 13:08, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
