Lauren WeinsteinMany government agencies are expressing concerns about how to communicate with the public without Twitter, especially in emergencies. Of course, it was a bad idea to become dependent on Twitter to such an extent in the first place, and no matter what happens, this needs rethinking.
Goappstate@lauren Thank you! Free market capitals can scoff, but regulators are way behind on this one.
The rallying cry needs to be that Twitter is a private monopoly, owned and controlled largely by one person, and it can’t be the primary means for communicating critical public emergency info.
That it’s gotten to this stage and we still haven’t seen regulatory action is infuriating.
