January 6th set in motion the changes in command at Twitter, specifically banning President Trump for explicitly calling for a march on the Capitol. “Please arrive early, massive crowds expected,” the tweet reads. “March to the Capitol after." We now know the plan was to delay and disrupt the ministrative duties of Congress, then have allies in Congress change the outcome of the election. We also know that Trump stated the armed people in the crowd were not there to harm him.

Twitter had weak leadership and I do not think they knew what to do with what they had built. It began as a virtual "town square" and in fact there are ALL KINDS OF LAWS about what you can do you in your local town square. Jack Dorsey was in Papeete on a boat when the stuff went down.

Twitter became a way that Elites could communicate with "followers," not "friends." That was for some time maybe the best news feed there has ever been.

Today the lack of filtration has resulted in a sewer where very few wish to swim.
