Former Health Minister Jens Spahn uninstalled Twitter from his mobile phone. Constantly browsing through the app is like a “little addiction” and it also puts you in a bad mood.


According to former health minister Jens Spahn, he is not a big fan of the social network Twitter. “It puts you in a bad mood,” said the CDU politician in the “Die Wochentester” podcast of the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” and the German publishing network.

He no longer has the app on his mobile. “If every time you get in the car, you stand in the elevator, give yourself a quiet second, look on Twitter first, it’s almost a little addiction and you see what’s going on again? Unconsciously, it makes it real in a bad mood,” he said. . “I was in a better mood after I got rid of Twitter on my phone.”

Spahn: Twitter’s arguments have “little to do” with actual debates

He also noted that the topics on Twitter were very one-sided and often had little to do with far-reaching debates. She had “sometimes had three shit storms in parallel” “because some statement or any political activity (…) didn’t like being part of the Twitter bubble”. On the spot in the constituencies, however, she later experienced that the topics of the events and discussions were not Twitter topics.
