> It is rather disconcerting how a platform that is apparently rather integral to the discourse of today is in the hands of a single private company. Unpopular opinion: I think it's awesome that a private company has created a platform like Twitter. It's kind of like comparing a private amusement park with a public park: one has roller coasters, water slides and an arcade... the other has a swingset and a nice field of dried up grass. > the fact that it's at the whims of a private company How is this worse than at the whims of the crown? > there is an environment that is ripe for the encroachment of digital rights I love that were even talking about having digital rights.
