Twitter is about the worst platform I've seen. It's worse than all the "chan" websites and I don't know how they are allowed to continue.
The only major difference I can see between the two are the political and ideological opposites. On the chans it's A-OK to post about wiping out some "inferior race", while on Twitter wiping out or mistreating men is accepted. All kinds of kink porn is easily found on Twitter (which was a big surprise), people confess to crimes, harass each other, dox and send death threats to "the other side", spread fake news, falsely accuse each other with real world consequences, and so much more. Yet somehow, Twitter is a standard app on devices, newspapers, governments, underage kids and grandpas use it.
Is it just money?
- majewsky 5y agoYour fallacy is assuming that Twitter is the same thing for everyone. I have none of what you describe in my timeline, mostly because I don't go out of my way to search for this stuff. Your argument is not unlike "why is the government supporting the printing of books when some books contain inflammatory speech and bomb building manuals" (though obviously not a 1:1 equivalence because books don't have algorithmic recommendations by themselves).
