      In addition to enabling uncouth behavior, Twitter also enables a worldwide append-only record of analysis, claims, and counterclaims, including those of journalists, medical professionals, experts in every field, and others.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1242674190253051904 …

      Patrick McKenzie added,

      Twitter is a remarkable website where anyone can read frontline testimony from journalists, medical professionals, and experts in every field of human endeavor who are choosing to share their knowledge for free, of their own free will, in real time, and call them an idiot.

      Every possible claim on every possible issue will probably happen on the Internet. Some of those claims will be right. Some will be wrong. We have the prior expectation that journalists, government, and experts will utterly crush others as a population on their track records.

      But for the first time, we now have observable track records. And that... we are still working through the societal implications of that.

          It’s always been possible for a stopped clock the be right twice a day. And it’s always been possible for someone controlling the channel to say, in response to being outperformed on a single instant, that it was outperformed by a stopped clock. But which clock keeps winning?

          It's deletable, so not quite append only or reliably observable. And there's likely a strong correlation with being provably wrong and deleting things.

          Twitter screenshotting and other forms of archiving are popular past-times for this reason. Most people don’t delete until it’s too late.

          It's crazy that track records aren't more important for news figures etc

          It's you that's crazy, rather than them. They're not for what you think they're for. What do you think they're for?
