I do hope Dave Chappelle might start a trend of "ignore Twitter and suffer no consequences"
I do hope we would all move on to better things than those massive social networks. They have impacted really negatively the lives of many around me, and continue to do so.
The Internet, and all existing services, is based in physical locations, subject to local and international laws, governed by the decisions of real people with diverse motivations, and capable of influencing real-world outcomes on many scales.
Well, we might know, but the people in charge choose to ignore it. Shitstorms only have power because the people in power believe they have.
The solution is for us to rise into those positions of power, and once entrenched govern our organizations to be impervious to any such mobs.
There is no other solution.
The solution is to sue these people for wrongful dismissal.
The solution is to stop signing contracts with integrity clauses.
The solution is to stop working for companies without a backbone.
Nope. Those things just treat symptoms, not the cause.
