He says what I've been saying for months, only a lot better put.

The likes of twitter gives a large voice to people who would have been marginalised 20 years ago. All sorts of crazy and dangerous people influencing the masses.

The fact that talentless nobodies like the Kardasians (for example) can also influence so many is a crime in itself as well.

Perfectly highlighted by the fact that David Icke of all people had almost 400k followers before being permanently banned by Twitter.

Add in all the fringe Youtubers feeding disenfranchised and easily influenced people exactly what they want to hear and peddling it as 'news', the world is f*cking nuts.

I wouldn't exactly compare it to Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita about the atomic bomb, but I'd wager if those whose work led to the creation of the internet could all see it now and have their time again, they'd probably have binned it at the planning stages.
