lol...like Twitter was some kind of bastion of information dissemination for the people, rather than a massive narrative filter and amplifier. The irony is that a lot of people are hoping he can return Twitter to a place of a less restricted conversation...
"bastion of information dissemination" and "massive filter and amplifier" are synonymous to me.
Maybe I should have been clearer, but I didn't mean "information" in the sense of "true facts about the world", I meant in the sense of "data someone wants to get in the heads of others". Truth, lies, stories, anecdotes, misinformation, fiction, data, and nonsense are all "information" in that sense.
And Twitter is clearly one of the world's largest services for moving data into human heads.
