Twitter is not a technical problem. We as a society are simply unable to wield such a tool in any useful way.
When you combine three obvious truths:
* people are tribal to the point of irrationality
* controversial clickbait bullshit travels fast and right to page 1, erudite corrections go on page 7 and are cheerfully ignored (see point 1)
* people don't listen, they wait to talk
There is no value in giving everyone such a platform. It achieves no useful purpose whatsoever that cannot be achieved more neutrally, deliberately, and less sensationally.
On Bullshit is required reading.
