In a ironic twist of fate, Twitter has now come to the aid of democracy by silencing Alex Jones of InfoWars on their privately owned platform, but look behind this mainstreaming of twitter and you will see that it will be applied even more widely to the left. I saw this coming and you can expect more in the very near future. As Kiriakous documents from his personal experience, it is in motion now and is a very dangerous trend. Progressive I know have for years relied heavily on social media and in fact from getting people out for demonstrations to educating our own the reliance on platforms like Twitter is almost universal.
Twitter is not alone of course,
Google, Facebook, Apple as reported in the Washington Post, are all in the act and it bode ill for progressives. My recommendation -- Start now, save your work offline for starters and then look to building a much more reliable mouse trap if we are to be effective in communicating our ideas moving forward.
