- pfarrell 5y agoYes, an individual can protest in this fashion, but that doesn't negate the unchecked influence Twitter has and the GP's concerns over how the rich and powerful are able to acquire this influence without any limit. It's a good point about NewsCorp, but I think the world has changed considerably since the MySpace purchase happened.
- khazhoux 5y agoMy point is not at all actually about Twitter itself. It's simply this: once an individual amasses a certain billions of dollars in wealth, their power is effectively permanent for the rest of their (and our) lifetimes. And that power --concentrated into the hands of a few individuals-- is enormous. I claim that his is "not ok."
