To knowingly inflict harm on innocent individuals--not to mention poisoning the public discourse--because $$$ is so much more important than simple decency.

They would have to crawl back into their hidey holes and die.

They could at least muzzle his worst offenses - like the most recent attacks on Joe Scarborough. But I guess it's difficult to discern where he crosses the line, isn't it?

...they'd set up a competitive offering
where users are actually verified (i.e. no bots allowed)

Jack Dorsey can keep the Trumps and trolls.

They wouldn't go out of business without trump. You're giving trump way too much credit.

The quest for knowledge is filled. Now it's just real time mass culture. Those are 2 different things. Digital expertise and information is a sorting process. Like water, they find their own level. Dumb people and garbage information won't float forever. I'm spending far less time there. Tired of egos thinking their perspective is somehow important in the scheme of things. So I think Twitter will be a tool for the elites, with premium ideas. If you can't deliver the content, you ain't gonna fly very long. And the masses will be like the MySpace/Facebook crowd. Noise, hollowed out.
