These aren't public services, they're private endeavors.
- basch 10y agoarent sewers usually municipal? if twitter is a virtual telephony infrastructure, maybe we should treat its successor more like a municipal telecom. that said, it would also be federated systems compared to monolithic, so the analogy doesnt hold perfectly.
- M_Grey 10y agoYou may or may not be right, but certainly at this point they are not public services. The tragedy is that people treat them like they are, hence cries of "censorship".
- basch 10y agothe other tragedy being them run by shareholders that dont care about the platform health over short term profit
- M_Grey 10y agoThat's bad news for sure, but then, it's a self-correcting issue; the platform fails, another takes it place and tries again. It's not as though Twitter does something that anyone else couldn't do just as well, or better.
