- octopoc 6y agoThere isn't a good way to not play though. Even if you don't have a Twitter account, something you do can still be posted on Twitter and then the outrage machine can latch onto it.
- yellowapple 6y agoRight, but seeing as how I lack a Twitter account, chances are I won't know about that outrage machine, and therefore probably won't care, unless (and only unless) I'm made aware of it through some other channel (like HN, or reddit, or someone texting me about it, or what have you).
- noir_lord 6y agoSometimes just shutting up and let the other side beat itself out is the smart play - they'll move onto something else in short order. There is a reason that a lot of PR is saying literally nothing in the blandest ways possible.
- j_walter 6y agoHalf of the journalism that is still out and about will know and will shove it in your face. Even the local TV news talks about twitter and shows tweets during the broadcasts. Even if you avoided the internet entirely...if there is enough outrage...you will find out about it.
