A twitter shutdown would do more good than anyone could possibly imagine.

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.


even if this were true, do you honestly think ending twitter would stop all those occurrences?

Twitter isn't really an innovative idea from a technology perspective. They were just the first ones to identify that "people have short attention spans" and "how can we use a text system to exploit that".

We had chatrooms LONG BEFORE social media became the norm. LiveJournal and AOL ??

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.


You mean like Stormfront?

Hot take: Twitter should be allowed to operate as intended but anyone promulgating anti-American sentiments should be banned. And anyone doing that within American jurisdiction should be summarily tried and sent to a labor camp
