This is about Twitter. And it's almost exclusively about Twitter. Even the article says "on social media, the reaction was swift, with some heaping ridicule," because that's what social media is. Then there are some tweets embedded. Twitter does not represent real people. It is not a town square, and I've seen no evidence of a widespread cultural change in real life. It's hard to remember that when we can't see real people. But I think it matters.
