He says X is for freedom of speech, and it is an everything app

but, freedom can’t exist without privacy.

Everything app = monopoly = all in one

    One does not have to switch from something that was never used.

    Twitter has been a short form outrage machine since the beginning.

      The interesting thing about Twitter is how it shows how a significant part of our society works. It is kind of about amplifying fame and suggesting that we should all cares about meaningless 240 character posts or what these guys think.

      That news media types love Twitter is kind of an indictment of how news works.

      This is a wildly over generalized take.

      Twitter was also an important tool for journalists and researchers worldwide. Military targets have come from Twitter posts. It is a reflection of a huge chunk of society. You may as well call all of internet technology “just a porn box” for how wildly over generalized that statement is. The reality is your generalization comes from arrogance. “I never engaged in such frivolous behavior”. You’re here now. Yes you have and yes you do.

      Even your comment is the first cousin of outrage, it’s pure disdain. Nothing more or less, and exactly as valuable as outrage.
