Social media is dictating countries, and companies governance Or, existing power structures are ecstatic to have yet another fake enemy to assign blame to for their own failures.

>existing power structures Like who? Twitter is mob rule. Regardless of whether or not Twitter disrupts the Illuminati, it's not a great alternative.

    I thought the existing power structures would include the media conglomerates that launched this Twitter Mob on this company .. you know the investigative reporting of 'The Verge', owned by NBCUniversal ... this power structure?

  This controversy wasn't started by Twitter, it came from good ole fashion investigative reporting. The fact that we are discussing the role of Twitter shows that the grandparent is right, it's a new fake enemy to put blame on and its working. We're taking their bait.

    >This controversy wasn't started by Twitter, it came from good ole fashion investigative reporting It went to Twitter. And I think 'investigative reporting' is far too generous of a term as it evokes images of good journalism. This was a click-bait hit piece detailing a bunch of nothing.

      Ofc CEO sending messages at bad hours to workers and denying vacation times is nothing. What a work culture.

        >Ofc CEO sending messages at bad hours to workers What's wrong with sending emails or messages at 3am ... if you don't expect workers to read and/or respond to the message at that time (as opposed to the next business day)? It just means the messages sits there in the inbox until the next day. So what? >and denying vacation times is nothing I see nothing about vacation time. I saw PTO being denied - which may not be the same. Sometimes PTO and Vacation time is tracked differently, the latter being something guaranteed in your employment agreement, and the former being a perk.

For being supposedly fake, there's a lot of real people burning up an awful lot of their real time agitating on Twitter.

  “Fake” as in it’s an excuse. Not as in not existing. If one needs to terminate someone, and they catch some negative attention on Twitter, blaming Twitter for the termination would be both convenient and fake. The reason wasn’t actually Twitter; that’s just the messaging.
