How come Twitter is not is trouble for enabling (or being A loudspeaker for) people that riles up other people, fuels their fire and so on.
Trying to understand this from a ethics and philosophical perspective. Appreciate your comments.
- tedivm 7y agoPeople are constantly calling out Twitter and Jack Dorsey for the horrible aspects of the platform.

Yes, some people shit on them, but I dont see a deplatforming along the corner for the truly powerful. I understand why Cloudflare wants to get rid of this hot potato right now, but it comes across as opportunistic and hypocritical.
