Wasn't Twitter instrumental in enabling January 6th?
Facebook was the larger organizing platform, groups, events, etc.
But don't worry, they kicked Parler off everywhere to distract you.
Well, that was the event that finally forced Twitter to kick Trump of, so they apparently though they had some effect.
I believe it helped with Arab Spring aswell and most people argue that was a good thing.
Which is why Saudi Arabia gave Elon Musk $22B to buy it without any expectation of a return on their investment. To them, the destruction of twitter was the goal.
oh it isn't more destroyed than before don't worry
