It sounds like you just have a fundamental disagreement that Twitter has become the primary backbone for public communications between powerful people and their audience (for which there is no viable replacement because of Network Effect), as well as for real-time messaging between individuals and groups. Until you acknowledge that fact, you won't 'see' a problem.
- ravi-delia 6y agoCould you give a concrete example of a scenario where someone is left without any method of public communication without Twitter? Sure it's easier, and other sites might not give the same free random updrafts of popularity, but if people want to hear your message you just don't need Twitter.
- WClayFerguson 6y agoIf phone companies were allowed to cut service to people based on the political leanings of phone calls, then would you be saying: "It's ok, people can just find another phone company or use emails for communication, when their phone is cut"? You don't think Twitter is analogous to phone service. I do. That's the disconnect here.
