Less safe how? You think twitter wouldn’t give up what ever IP information they can glean? I am positive he is using VPN or something else to make his posts untraceable. And if he can do that there, then he can do it through something else. I mean John Oliver got an interview, so it isn’t like people don’t know where he is.
Perhaps I am wrong about security, but my point goes far beyond Snowden, where 99.99% of the people tweeting aren’t in fear of the CIA watching them. For someone else wanting to post anything longer than 140 character either have to make multiple, disjointed posts, or link to another site.
Right, which is why I said, “alerts something happened/is new.” But there is zero depth or substance. Even during something horrible like the Paris terrorists attacks, I am not really sure it is useful beyond, “OMG, something bad is happening right now.” as the important and true info is mixed in with the false, non-important, and half-true info.
Like I said, great way for Snowden to let people know he had information, too limited to allow people to actually SHARE that information.
Maybe they should make a sister sight, singer, where you can easily link tweets to songs - long form posts for whole stories.
It is fucking worthless as a meaningful communication tool. It is a great tool for alerts and making things go viral.
What if all the trollies on twitter are really from the future, trying to destroy it before it is used to help elect Trump?
