Leave it up to humans to bastardize the greatest tool for liberation ever invented.

Remember that one time Twitter facilitated the Arab Spring?

Maybe it's not done yet. The Arab Spring demonstrated that Twitter was a threat. The powers that be have effectively destroyed Twitter as an organizing tool. Now we have Mastodon.

It might take more than a few decades for humans to fully adapt to the internet hazards we were warned about in the 1990s and forgot by the 2020s.
