The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that it is suspending the use of twitter polls for BLF Awards, four seasonal Beard Awards and Beard of the Year in December with immediate effect.
The move comes after the current owner of Twitter Elon Musk created chaos on the platform by limiting the number of tweets users could access. His reasons for the move were vague and not evidence based.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, twitter polls were an effective way to assess support in our regular beard polling and relatively immune to malign influence. We hope to return to using them but at the moment twitter is unfortunately not fit for our purpose
Notes
The current Beard of the Year is England cricketer Moeen Ali. He shaved author Michael Rosen for the annual honour in a well supported twitter poll in December 2022
