Charles GabaThis is gonna end with Alphabet snapping up Twitter for pennies on the dollar in a fire sale and rebranding it as Google+, isn’t it?
Mrs RavenNGL, I loved G+.

Apple will buy Twitter and set it up to automatically play U2 songs when you visit someone’s profile page.

Bugs RaplinAt this point, it's ideological and not to do with profit.

Joanna Bryson, blathering@charlesgaba @1br0wn google fled social media while they could because they were afraid of the regulatory issues when they saw cambridge analytica
@charlesgaba @1br0wn And by the way, I was as angry about the unilateral destruction of the public / private time investment and the unique network ecosystem of people who actually cared about security that was google+ then as I am about twitter now, I just have more vocabulary and knowledge of governance now to talk about why that's fundamentally wrong. You couldn't just shut down electricity or phones now, but they were also luxuries at one point.
