It is now painfully clear that no local government, state or federal agency, or other civic institution should be using Twitter for any purpose other than directing people to alternative platforms.

Using the platform for anything other than a last ditch backup for any kind of emergency communication is clearly a disaster waiting to happen.

@ct_bergstrom Wasn’t that the plan? Destroy all popular, heavily used medium that relays news to the masses in a matter of minutes? Rupert Murdoch is taking over television stations. I find it interesting (and scary) that people who weren’t born in the U.S. are taking over all communication, while republicans are amassing for a showdown.
