@pkafka @Lucas_Shaw Judgments about social meida being good/bad aside, I subscribe to the view that "social media" is predicated on open sharing…. I agree these platforms could survive and be “very different,” but it’s not clear to me that they would still be “social media” in the true sense. https://t.co/TtPaFDC5UU — PolitiTweet.org

@Lucas_Shaw 1. They can’t do it effectively and sustain their business. 2. It would fundamentally alter the services they provide, thus having the effect of shutting them down. 3. It wouldn’t solve problem, bc questions about borderline content, policy enforcement and censorship would remain — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Zuckerberg, Susan Wojcicki and others who run big social media firms openly acknowledge this will always be a game of "whack-a-mole." (Wojcicki told me as much here: https://t.co/pnAH6at0t4) The only way to eliminate all bad content is to shut down platforms. Not happening. — PolitiTweet.org
