I never liked this argument. Partly because if you take it to its logical conclusion, any sufficiently successful individual would be paralized - which is an obviously wrong conclusion. The more successful you are, the freer you should be.

The solution is to also look at gains, not just losses. Billionaires can kill people with a tweet, but they can also inspire and, yes, save lives with a tweet.

?!? Your last sentence seems to demonstrate exactly why they should self-filter and choose their words carefully.

You can be incredibly successful and not be famous. That's fine.

But if your success includes fame then... I like my social leaders to be nice to their own social group and not kill them very much.

If you agree the words are powerful I would hope you agree they should be used carefully.

If I save six lives, I can then kill six people?
