It's funny seeing comments like "was a good thing for all of us" after years of hearing "Twitter is damaging society".

I can't tell if it's different people talking now or if people really are that fickle. Probably a bit of both.

Both.

I hold both views.

The subtlety is in whether the User is beholden to Twitter Inc in a Just Along For The Ride sense, or is Creating a Burden for Innocent Others.

Former is most of us, latter is institutions incapable of acting insightfully considering the possible future (this one we now live in).
