Agreed. I'm old enough to remember a time before tweeting and the internet and just because the "feature" that is both of those popped into existence doesn't mean that it was the de facto of how information on a mass scale should be handled. We love our echo chambers and information that validates our beliefs and that can be easily mishandled and abused.
