Yes, I just learned myself that we both heard it from the same source. Though it's a bit weird that the present intolerant climate has produced duplicate tweets, in this case it was a net win. Our friend's idea got double the exposure.
We're going to see more of this as real talk keeps shifting to private channels and gets filtered back into the public sphere via a handful of messengers who can still speak without hurting other people terribly. Bizarre to think mass communication wrought modern whisper networks
That sounds an awful lot like a reinvention of the gatekeeper/editorial/broadcast system we used to have, right?
Yeah, and it's a role traditional media could be filling if they weren't simultaneously going haywire. The media is increasingly cut out by their own sources not because those sources have better options, but because they're acting on the same incentives the mob is acting on.
Does this make you the human version of a TOR exit node?
Maybe that is good? You're saying you didn't say it, a friend did, but Twitter users can't verify that. So we are forced to evaluate the claim on its merits, not who said it.
Since you know who publicized it, and you know something about the opinions ("filters") of that person, if you disagree with their opinion, you can continue to ignore what is being said. Same as with "an anonymous person said to [newspaper/TV/radio channel] that X".
This is how you know you're on the wrong side. If someone has to be anonymous to say something brave. Paul you're getting close. @naval sees it
I predict we will see a revival of the clandestine cell system (if it hasn't happened already). Not even for political manipulation or false-flag ops like I originally thought, but just for people to discuss their opinions.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
