Ugh, I generally dislike agreeing with rev, but my take on it is especially with Musk getting rid of things like proper account verification, fact checking, and increasing right wing and authoritarian voices compared to other outlets, hes enhanced twitters ability to propagate misinformation and rally certain elements. Its collapse would cut off one more major, well known, avenue for all of that to be disseminated.

The problem with getting rid of problematic things is that it's more likely that they'll be replaced with even worse things in our current environment. Few of our systems are working well to stop bad actors. Does anyone think a more moderate and balanced Twitter option will arise from the ashes if he blows (OK, OK, "when he finishes blowing") it up?
