I think Twitter is just garbage in general and was never prepared for any of this sort of poo poo like Russia and MAGA people trying to use it to spread propaganda and hate speech in a coordinated fashion and of course doesn't care if doing something about it would hurt profits.

I heard Japan of all countries is looking into regulating twitter recently as a means of curbing some of it's own domestic social problems and China just straight up bans it which normally would feel Draconian but in this case I think they have the right idea. This is off of one incident too in a country where it's not very common (murder not teen suicide) and the United States has had at least 3 major mass murder incidents in the last month or two and refuses to do anything about it at all.

This is off of one incident too in a country where it's not very common (murder not teen suicide) and the United States has had at least 3 major mass murder incidents in the last month or two and refuses to do anything about it at all.

Social media started out OK but grew so much that it turned really negative. I mean I’m all for a method to keep in touch with friends or to have friends know what you’re up to instantly. But you should NOT be getting your news from social media. And you should NOT be taking people’s fictionalized social media lives at face value.

This is true. For me it's the sharing alt-right takes from alt-right corners of the internet that are just gonna kind of make them on an hourly basis that some people think are super important to get the word out on but really aren't at all and mainly just the standard internet memery antics of said crowd or the usual daily bullshit from people that don't matter. Alabama State legislators super bad take on the Roy Moore thing, important and worth extended commentary. Mike Cernovich's latest bullshit, not so loving much. I don't even really care what this Krang T Nelson guy has to say much really because I don't take ANTIFA seriously as a force for positive change and never had and think they do far more harm for the Anti-MAGA messaging than help.
