It's shortsighted how beholden some people think the world is to Twitter and other social media platforms that happen to be in vogue at the moment. Changing fads tend to drift the masses to a new platform for communication every decade or two. Personally I barely use Twitter or Facebook. I much prefer forums like this one or StackOverflow, which do a better job of encouraging quality contributions. Trump or the White House could conceivably come out with their own app as an alternative means to directly reach followers and avoid censorship. If the people who want to hear him aren't engaged enough to tap a few buttons to install it, I have trouble mustering much sympathy. I'm an avid supporter of free speech, but I think people who place their faith in a small number of private companies to provide that are naive.
