I think you are not taking into account that he's writing this for a, what i would call, moderately technical audience. In a sense it -is- a man in the middle attack as someone seems to have tried to put himself between the internet us

I think there definitely is a market for better filters. But i do think it's a bit weird that we seem to need more technology to save us from technology. Instead of muting users you follow the more obvious fix is simple; unfollow some of th
