Wow, Planr, you managed to virtually derail the entire thread. I will be honest and say I have similar opinions to his.
I can't believe we keep seeing how child research is becoming more accessible and forward. Does anyone remember the "webcam video from" fiasco on Youtube?
In regards to Twitter, I don't know why politicians use the platform at all. Our president could make a post honoring a marine killed in action and then right next to it is a post saying "The Jews did 9/11". It also bypasses journalists and media outlets, who resort to misleading headlines and shock value tactics to pick up the loss of attention once people realize they don't need the media middle man when they can hear things straight from the horse's mouth. We have a free press, after all (excluding things such as bias. Countering this is easy. Look at Franklin Roosevelt's state of the union address. Photographs show him speaking through multiple microphones in front of him, each belonging to a different media company. With such a large amount of distributors, bias can be more easily detected, and the press is more free and overall more trustworthy).
