It shouldn't be, but the bleeding edge of markets have always relied on having the latest data from anywhere that can indicate a shift and I don't expect it to change anytime soon.

Exactly. Twitter only succeeds because it's an authoritative source for who a tweet is from. It'll surely be questioned in the future since this is huge, but any other platform getting hacked like YouTube or Facebook would have similar consequences.
