And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward

Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai

What would happen?

Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.

Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.

@jon I've already heard many people complain about Ukraine all but disappearing from their Twitter feeds. I may have noticed the same. Whether it's intentional or due to the feed algorithm getting lopsided because its caretakers have left the company, I don't know, but the end result is that the site is becoming less useful and less trustworthy.
