It's possible to find literally any opinion on twitter. What's the magnitude of this problem compared to Alex Jones' active disparagement of the parents of victims of mass shootings?
- creaghpatr 8y agoHow would such magnitude even be measured? Subjectively, perhaps legally?
- eganist 8y agoIt's pretty straightforward. Twitter even offers it as a feature for your own tweets, something called Tweet Activity (the bar chart icon on every one of your own tweets). The specific stats e.g. impressions, engagements, detail expands, clicks, replies, etc. are all measured. And that's just what's exposed to us. Twitter doubtless has more than that on hand.
- tomlock 8y agoWhat percentage of the population would you estimate would view actively targeting the families of shooting victims as worse than complaining about white people? Do you feel like the accounts mentioned, ranked from most influential to least, would have Alex Jones at the very top? Legal arguments often include reference to a "reasonable person". Legal is subjective.
