Twitter was on its way out until the 2016 election drama. Trump made it relevant again, and it uses its relevancy to destroy the lives of innocent people. Twitter was the driving force behind the Covington Catholic hate campaign. Children were getting death threats on twitter, and they wouldn’t even remove the tweets. In fact, they were fanning the flames of hate.
And how did that work out for them? And for Buzzfeed and CNN, which were the real force behind the smear? Twitter is an archaic holdover from the old unmoderated text-based groups, crossed with pager technology. It sucks. There's no need to "protect us" from stupid regurgitated garbage on Twitter.
Now, what's your take on the Nazis on Gab?
