To me the interesting thing here is the confirmation that Twitter never drove much traffic to news/other sites; people were content to just consume headlines/commentary there. That’s appalling information hygiene, especially since Twitter (and any social media site) is prone to social engineering. We need to aggressively champion the idea that one should seek out news/information at their original (and verifiably competent) sources and sites.
