The entire Twitter platform seems totalitarian and a societal bad. Why would you ever want a billboard for your passing thoughts that literally not only can be read by a huge audience but will be read by a huge audience? Oh sure it’s great if you’re promoting something. But there’s clearly a reason beyond basic privacy to want your messages only readable by select few.

I’ve been out of social media for years and never quite ‘got’ twitter. From the outside, it seems like it’s having a totalitarian effect on society. What you say will be widely viewed - and “judged.”
