- akerl_ 4y agoI feel like I’m not grokking the point you’re trying to make. Twitter can be used to plan crimes. So can iMessage and Tor and gnupg and WhatsApp and IRC. Can you clarify what you’re proposing is the right path forward?

And supposedly let them convince some of the most radical people to not participate after all. (I'm still baffled though why the police was so unprepared, it should have been a fort of police shields and water cannons...)
