It is frightening to see how #journalists (even those supposedly knowing about #media, like #MargaretSullivan @TheGuardian) realise how and why #Twitter failed them and us as a digital public space but entirely fail to draw any meaningful conclusions for themselves. Instead they willingly stumble into the next #platform dependency that will harm independent #journalism and degrade public discourse.
@ilumium @TheGuardian if only they applied that sense of hopeless inevitably to other hot topics: "there are already illegal drugs in the country, might a well accept it and decriminalise them" or "there are already illegal immigrants, might as well stop fighting them and work on integrating them into society. "
Strange how being resigned to our fates is reserved for corporate interests, no?
