BUSTED: MIT Technology Review and their dishonest headline. Clickbait or deception?

The headline was originally about the "imminent collapse" of Twitter. It was changed to "Twitter’s potential collapse" but the URL needs to stay the same, for technical reasons.

And the article actually makes some interesting points, and a lot of guessing, but seems to blur their line between what is public and what is private. For example, if all that content should be in the public domain, then what did Elon spend 44 Billion dollars on? A few Dell racks and the privilege of paying too much severance pay for overpaid, underworked prima donnas?

Part of what makes Twitter’s potential collapse uniquely challenging is that the “digital public square” has been built on the servers of a private company, says O’Connor’s colleague Elise Thomas, senior OSINT analyst with the ISD. It’s a problem we’ll have to deal with many times over the coming decades, she says: “This is perhaps the first really big test of that.”

Twitter’s ubiquity, its adoption by nearly a quarter of a billion users in the last 16 years, and its status as a de facto public archive, has made it a gold mine of information, says Thomas.
