Come on, if you didn't notice the unfounded insinuation that a former high-ranking corporate officer at Twitter was really a pedophile and the resultant fallout over the last 72 hours, then you are really not paying attention.
I wish I was surprised at the pettiness that seeing Twitter clearly having some internal issue - the willingness of people who consider themselves adults to drink it up as hate fuel against the bad man they think switched "teams".
I completely agree, and we as a society need to learn how to live in a world where a single tweet by an semi-influential figure can cause such a shit storm. How liable are people for actions resulting from a tweet? If someone famous snaps a photo of you, calls you a pedofile, and throws it on Twitter, what are the consequences?
The mistake was to just not ignore anything what comes from twitter. Twitter is a pile of shit that mostly produces hate, don't see a reason to don't just ignore it.
Other than this freak occurrence, which was remedied immediately and publicly apologized-for, what else does Twitter do that makes you think they "care so little"?
Twitter has actually vowed to support pedos, as long as they don't talk about plans to hurt actual, particular children.
But the community of "MAPs" is protected by social media these days. Repeat the 13-50 statistic, though, and you're out (though the likes of "kill all white people" appears to be ok).
