Stop using Twitter. Why is that not a solution?

There is nothing forcing someone’s computer or smartphone from connecting. Just stop using it.

If you stop using Twitter you stop being able to communicate with people using Twitter. There are many organizations who would love nothing more than to stop using Twitter, but they cannot because Twitter has a captive section of their audience. And it is a huge section of Wikileaks target audience, which is why this is a problem.
