Onion's Take on the Use of Twitter as Underground Communication:
"Twitter was intended to be a way for vacant, self-absorbed
egotists to share their most banal and idiotic thoughts with
anyone pathetic enough to read them," said a visibly confused
Dorsey, claiming that Twitter is at its most powerful when it
makes an already attention-starved populace even more needy
for constant affirmation. "When I heard how Iranians were using
my beloved creation for their own means—such as organizing a
political movement and informing the outside world of the
actions of a repressive regime—I couldn't believe they'd ruined
something so beautiful, simple, and absolutely pointless."
