Why do we even allow twitter this power.

Stop using twitter.



I don't see the point of why Twitter or Facebook should even exist if they have this amount of power. You're setting yourself up to being witch-hunted down like in the middle-ages or being the new face of a most wanted poster all over the town square if you say or do the wrong thing.

It's only going to get worse if you keep using social media. Delete your accounts while you can.


This is certainly the best advice. Personally I find Twitter to be the worst of the worst forum formats, and it bugles my mind that anyone actually enjoys using it.


People are addicted to memes and depressing news, cut off the head of twitter and two more will take its place scratching the same primal itch.


It's their website, they can ultimately do what they please. You have this power too, if you wrote your own website. So does dang here.


I stopped using it. If they Can Block the president then fuck them,,, One way to stop twitter and facebook is for the 75 million people that voted for president trump to stop using twitter and facebook... The consumer can fire any company just stop using there product.

Our country would not be in this mess if antitrust laws were used to bust up Facebook, Google, and Twitter years ago. Our leaders were all but bribed by the VCs and their lobbyists to look the other way while our social norms and sense of right and wrong were destroyed by malicious algorithms.
