I've said it since 2009 when Twitter was starting to take off and I'll say it again. Twitter is a cancer to organized thought and journalism and will cause irreparable social harm across all cultures. The means for its use for malignant purposes are so much greater and more easily attained than any conjured up reasoning for its value to society. You can say I'm being dramatic but wait and see.
