Reply to comment by johnsonutah in Connecticut’s Blumenthal, other senators to FTC: Probe Twitter security, take needed action by jr_reddit

Eversouce is a matter for *State* Senators. Blumenthal is a Fed. Twitter is highly influential on a Nationwide basis. And can be used by trolls and assorted people that mean to do us harm to create all kinds of fuckery with the economy or politicians. And Twitter previously signed a Consent Decree with the DOJ. I for one am glad Blumenthal and the Congress are keeping a close eye on Twitter and other social media.

It was also used by the DoJ / DHS to remove unfavorable information, in direct violation of the 1st amendment. That's the only reason there's calls for an investigation - they're worried about losing their once-hidden backdoor to censorship.
