More important to note
Twitter is now directly taking on the tweets of government officials. What’s important to note here is that Twitter of all “organizations” is making a clear stance in not giving two shits who fails to meet their standards. This is an very important to note:
- People want to object the government in certain ways, but rarely do (in public…?)
- People (sometimes including myself) say government officials (including POTUS) shouldn’t be silenced on “social” platforms
- Except these social platforms are privately owned, e.g., you’re stepping into their house
- People are proactively opposing Twitter and Facebook’s stance on banning government officials, leading to sometimes backing up the government even when they’re wrong.
I feel platforms taking control of their content is shedding (not new) light on how society is reacting to information, whether it’s true or false.
