The high profile idiots might matter, their participation on Twitter doesn’t.

Twitter isn’t the active ingredient.

They didn't say it was, they said it was VIA twitter.

The medium is the message.

(Or at least, it heavily shapes the message).

They would literally announce new decisions on Twitter before anywhere else. High-impact political decisions and international decisions. You would be a fool to ignore it just because of the platform. You'd die on that hill.

> Twitter isn’t the active ingredient.

The idiots aren't an active ingredient either. Russia and Iran could have used any puppets. These ones just happen to also twitch like a frog leg.
