Your point is absolutely valid, but what's happening at Twitter really is only relevant to social media news. There's no tech changing or advancing, just a really bad marketing decision. I personally do not believe that this is tech news or relevant to it.

To be fair it's a tech company though so it can impact those in the tech space. Generally it doesn't but you know what I mean.

I agree. It's more political than technology related.

Its either Business or Political not tech

So what's odd here is that this is tech devolving. X is a software services and technology company that pioneered a field. We are watching that fall apart in real time.

Technology doesn't exist in a vacuum it is entwined in society. Business decisions are undoing years of a societies integration into daily lives. This is like witnessing the fall of Rome in fast forward. So oddly enough this is an live use case in the convergence of society and tech., which is technology.
