Pia Wurtzbach ecstatic over Threads, recalls 'worst' experience on Twitter
"Finally a place where we can write down our thoughts and not get death threats for having an opinion. Hopefully Meta can keep this app troll-free!"
This is what Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach shared on Meta's new app, Threads.
In an online post, she opened up about her "worst" experience on competing platform, Twitter.
"I’ll go first - getting hate tweets literally every 30 seconds in 2020 when I voiced out my opinion on the Anti-Terror Bill. I remember not even shading the govt or the president, I just tweeted a hashtag and got so much hate. One of the worst was 'sasaksan ko ng tubo p\*ke mo, bobo ka walang alam.' I had to uninstall the app for a week to avoid checking the mentions," she said.
"I also remember being stalked & ridiculed by a certain account for YEARS. And regularly too. This person was reading into every single post, comment, video I was doing on every platform, including all my family & close friends. They would also message the endorsements & brands I work with to destroy me with made up narratives."
Pia described it as "wild."
"I reported many MANY times with clear evidence but Twitter did nothing. It was clearly slander & abusive behavior. I had to sit there & take it for years," she related.
