To the end of making an informed decision. As opposed to an uninformed decision.

Your suggestion is noted, but without a reasonable argument to support your suggestion, I imagine I’ll be supporting or not supporting Twitter for my own reasons.

I’m not concerned with what the hoi polloi agree with. I’m concerned with factual, reasonable and comprehensive arguments being laid bare for interested parties to make informed decisions with.

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, assuming you haven’t read the rest of the thread with this comment, but you really should. Because it covers your issues with private platforms.

Not “forced”. “Should be held socially responsible.”

Oh, definitely! I thought it was pretty obvious it wasn’t Randall’s. Clearly a imitation response comic. If nothing else, the last panel should be a pretty clear indicator, as it pulls a panel from a completely different XKCD comic.

Okay, great! You completely avoided the actual discussion, but I’m happy to put you down as a “nay” for “Twitter, in general”.

I really wish I knew. I just google it, every time I need it. Sorry - I’m bad at being an artist ally. =/

My point is verbosity does not make your argument more salient. You could make your point with fewer words.

Very careful is absolutely what I advocate. But it’s hard to be very careful, when you don’t have all the information, and the information is most comprehensively gained via discussion, I’ve found.

Sorry, all those sites are not infrastructure.

You and the OP seem to be making the argument that Twitter is part of the public infrastructure, even though you understand it’s not public.

Look, you can split hairs all day, if you want, but I’m not interested. Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Youtube - these places are not platforms of specialty. They aren’t predicated on one topic, or one political stance, or one anything.

Yes, and the litigation is not whether or not you DO have rights, but whether you should support a company that guarantees you none.

Yes. It’s called “discussion”. Usually takes a lot of words. On both sides. As long as people talk about the topic at hand, which you seem entirely averse to doing.

What you seem to be in favor of is restricting the freedom of private entities.

And we’re litigating that TOS, not their ability to enforce it. Keep up.

How you got any of that out of the comic, I’ll never understand, but let me try to just say what is plain to me from the comic (and, by the way, it’s not my comic. If I knew who to credit, I would, but I don’t):

Already responded to this in another comment.

You can support them if you like. Or not. That’s freedom. If you don’t agree with what Twitter does, don’t support them.
