    The website owners cannot control if people comment on their sites? That seems like a problem.

    Both, there are many cases of injustice that take place but do not affect other similar cases, they are just ignored because they are so blatantly wrong that they only happened due to special circumstances or corrupt influence.

    Also your response to specs is quite wrong:

    Results are not all that matter, behavior and intent are much more important.

    No, intent doesn't change the severity of the crime but it can determine whether a crime took place at all.

    I think its a problem but more of a social problem, there shouldn't be anyone who thinks there could be a government solution to this problem, The real solution is for people to vote with their wallet, when companies do abhorrent things they need to demand a better product or move on to using different services.

    True, but companies have figured out to how create the social problems that profit from them. For people to be able to vote with their wallets, but when there is no alternative to heavily controlled socialist social media platforms, they win, we lose.

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    That's just it, their value is their brand's social value, if jiggery pokery were no longer profitable, if they were not trusted maybe we could have the do no evil google back.

    Well, after all that's been said, I for one am terribly sad that Twitter will no longer be a source of insightful analysis in 280 characters..

    Books (!) might actually start being read, God forbid.
