Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey wants to fix 'filter bubbles' on the social network
[...] Dorsey noted that the site by design allows users to follow certain accounts, which could skew their perception of the world. If users followed a certain topic or interest, they might see more tweets from people with different viewpoints, he said.
Twitter needs to give users more tools to break down these bubbles, Dorsey acknowledged.
But as social media sites face allegations that it's suppressing conservative voices, these companies are also grappling with free speech concerns.

There is no diversity of thought to be gained from you. Your wing of ideology hasn't contributed anything resembling genuine input into the national debate for upwards of 40 years now. Start having actual thoughts.

Sometimes, one's thoughts are just fundamentally correct, and represent the foundation for all further thought.

I didn't realize that repeating "Shame!" as loudly as possible in someone's face counted as "diversity of thought".
I didn't realize that accosting congressmen in elevators with your made-up sob story of being groped counted as "genuine input into the national debate".
Shame! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!!!!11111
