Twitter, Facebook and other so-called social media platforms should “police” themselves to follow their own TOS’. There is no need for hate against any group for any reason. To do so for any reason goes against ALL the basic tenants of all the major world religions. Hate of this sort that has been used as propaganda by these groups is the most destructive when ignored and thought of as they would just go away and die. Read how Hitler and his gang came to power in Germany in the 1930’s.

the social network anymore. It’s losing the intimacy that once attracted us.
While it may be getting bigger, it remains to be seen if it is getting better AND,
most importantly, can it be controlled for the betterment of its users.
