They are increasingly a major conduit for speech. Isolating people from Twitter isolates them from their inherent right to speech. This does two things a) sets precedence for future speech limitations and b) makes it harder for us to track people associated with terrorism. Both are bad since they historically lead to more violence.
- josefresco 9y ago"Isolating people from Twitter isolates them from their inherent right to speech." I disagree - are you saying access to a social network like Twitter should be a human right?
- virmundi 9y agoNot fully. The problem is the network effect. Look at the Arab Spring. "Everyone should have access to Twitter due to freedom". Now we see the other side of speech and run away.
- s73ver_ 9y agoNo. You've never had an inherent right to have people listen to you.
