Twitter is being used for a lot of things that do not start out as nefarious (though some of them do) but eventually end up being nefarious.

Twitter is a national security threat

LINK

Among the many things, it is being used easily and successfully to ...

Organize mobs
Incite and empower mobs
Steal identity
Steal financial information
Affect economic change

And we're probably just at the beginning of discovering its potential for wreaking havoc on humanity.

I do find it funny though that the most perceived conservative (and not progressive) President ever, took a giant shite on twitter and continues to do it everyday to the horror of libs who have no choice but to take it and look stupid doing it.

Anyways, it will have to eventually be shut down. Not sure how I feel about it but there it is.

All this to say, consider using a different tweeter-like social media site. Preferrably one that allows full freedom of speech.

You can bet if the Dems take control they will shut down anything being used to organize against them or express thought not consistent with what they want.

It is true that Twitter does nothing to prevent groups from planning organized violence, but yet they are worried about what the President tweets. Twitter needs to be held accountable.

For the good of the country, I think take social media out of the hands of these irresponsible giants like Zuckerberg and others. Twitter definitely will be shutdown for the good of America. I don't like it but there it is

8chan was shut down. Why not twitter if they can’t police themselves properly as an editor of content.

Can you imagine if a social media website was being used by the KKK or some Nazi group to organize gatherings and riots? That shite would be shut down with the quickness.

While I'd love to see Twitter shut down, I don't think your argument has much merit.

If we were in pre-internet times, and your charges were occurring through snail mail... do you believe we would shut down the US Postal Service?

They're doing this on college campuses today and have been for years.

That's really a terrible analogy. You .. anyone can do better than that.

it would be a clear violation of the 1st amendment, but the bill of rights doesn't really exist any more and shutting it down would probably help practically speaking.

Why don't you explain why?
It's a communication service open to the public.
My analogy stands.
If you prefer, imagine it pre-internet and swap US Postal Service with Bell Telephone Systems.
You can't shut down a communication platform because of a few users.

All of social media needs to go, not just Twitter.

Twitter ain't going nowhere. Trump uses it daily to reach out to his supporters.

The app does much much more than that behind the scenes on all of your devices.
