Those are all ‘meh’ when it comes to badness IMO More like: precautions, be careful about them? - I think fake news of quacks & miracle cures are worse? Unavoidable of course - the messiness of twitter remains its strength

I put quacks and miracle cures in the tribalism section

Twitter's but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. And then is heard no more: it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

My four: trolling, irrational arguments sparked by misunderstanding due to character limit/inability to articulate, privacy issues, reading self-promotion (esp by institutions) tweets instead of sincere engagement
