So Twitter just has these hundreds or thousands of people sitting around doing whatever so they can immediately spring into action when some big story comes along that they don’t want to trend? No way. The overhead would be financially ruinous.

Then they won't be able to suppress this, and all their effort to memory-hole the laptop-from-Hell story was for nothing.

Which suits me fine of course.

However they’re going it, I think we can agree that the most powerful social media platforms curating and sensoring the news to fit their political agenda is incredibly troubling. Something like 75% of Americans get their news from social media. The ability to control the content on those platforms is essentially equivalent to controlling and shaping the reality of many people. It’s wrong and Congress needs to immediately rescind their Section 230 protection and break up their virtual monopoly.
