A succinct and accurate assessment from Canadian Senator Paula Simons!
“But with Twitter in freefall, with Facebook in increasing decline, let’s lose the illusion that social media empowered us. We were every bit as much at the mercy of social-media moguls as were readers in the days of press barons and yellow journalism.” — @Paulatics

Instead, I’ll keep rooting for everyone who’s tooting! albertaviews.ca/goodbye-to-twi… #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #Twitter #X #birdsite #Mastodon #socialmediaGoodbye to Twitter - Alberta Views
Twitter kept assuming that I was a bot, and putting me in Twitter jail. I had to beg for my verification just so I could stay online.Paula Simons (Alberta Views)
