        What's makes 280 characters any different to 420 then?

        Don't get ur point. Free speech can be done in 120 characters, taking it away does not make it better if you can't log on to Twitter.

        What i meant was that at first 140 was the limit, they doubled it saying now people can express better, so why not 420 or 560, because more is better right? Why 280 then? Why not a 1000 using the same logic.

        What makes the difference when free speech is gone? 5, 160, 280 words? Doesn't matter.
