It is, by definition, unthrottled with very few exceptions. It contains useful as well as reprehensible posts.

I've got no idea why it needs promoting at this point, unless someone's income is tied to its success. Basically, it's Mos Eisley.

If your impression of Twitter is that's it's a  unthrottled 'letters to the editor' thing, you're missing out.
Filtering on Twitter is simple.  Following people, institutions and topics that one is interested in is easy.  So is blocking.

Curating your feed on Twitter is easy, and doable.  More so with a paid account.  Curating vastly improves the signal to noise ratio.

Elon's Twitter 2.0 is amazing.

Twitter is the reason newspapers used to have editors that filtered what made it to the Letters section.

There are discussions on Twitter you won't see in your national media or most social media sites.  If it's staying informed on current social  or political topics, Twitter has no equal.

The topics of transgenderism, sex change surgery for minors, and drag queens performing before children are just some of the issues in the last year or so.  Unlike many other platforms, on Twitter, viewpoints from all perspectives are heard, and not censored or blocked.

This morning's example - "Children's TV in the Netherlands: Naked adults promoting transgenderism and sex change surgery as "euphoria." "  I won't link it.   If you are curious, merely search that sentence in Twitter.

Lying is free speech.
It only costs you your integrity.
And if you don’t have any it’s Free.
 

Whistleblower: China, India had agents working for Twitter

lying isn't free speech...

apparently twitter will be the first social media on mars

i've decided twitter is an awesome information gathering tool

especially if you're tuned in to the good stuff, particularly science

you don't even have to post/tweet

just avoid anything political and you're probably good

Goodbye Alex Jones...

Yeah. It's no different than whachamabook or radio whatshisname. I use social media to hawk my album. The Internet is the Internet Is the Internet. 

I do not have a Twitter account and do not plan on getting one. For those of you who do, please report the fact the Donald Trump is violating their terms of service by threatening violence. I'm absolutely serious.
