"But as Twitter and other social networks grew, powerful people found that these apps could help them extend their power in new ways."

"Authoritarians discovered they could use them to crack down on dissent. Extremists learned they could stir up hateful mobs to drive women and people of color offline. Celebrities and influencers realized that the crazier you acted, the more attention you got, and dialed up their behavior accordingly. A foundational belief of social media’s pioneers — that simply giving people the tools to express themselves would create a fairer and more connected society — began to look hopelessly naïve.... Since 2016, Twitter has tried to clean up its mess.... And some users grew nostalgic for the messier, more freewheeling Twitter they’d loved. One of those users was Mr. Musk.... Mr. Musk has framed his Twitter acquisition as a move to return the site to its former glory. 'The bird is freed,' he tweeted on Thursday night.... It’s possible that... relaxing Twitter’s rules could revitalize it.... It’s also possible that it could empower bigots and trolls... or that Mr. Musk could back off his plans for radical change.... But whatever happens.... Twitter won’t recapture its onetime identity as a place for rebels and revolutionaries to communicate under the radars of the powerful. That bird has flown."

From "Twitter, Once a Threat to Titans, Now Belongs to One/A decade ago, the social media platform was a tool for rebels and those challenging authority. But over time, the powerful learned how to use it for their own goals" by Kevin Roose (NYT).

Roose describes the bird that has flown so narrowly that he's not really committing to much of a prediction: We can't get back to Twitter as a place for rebels and revolutionaries to communicate without being detected by the powerful people who have grown accustomed to using Twitter to acquire even more power.

Nevertheless, conspicuous rebels and revolutionaries can use Twitter to attack the powerful, and Musk can resist the influence of the powerful and give the rebels and revolutionaries breathing room that the powerful had been convincing the old guard at Twitter to squelch.

That bird hasn't flown. I'm sure there are other birds. That's just the one I heard tweeting most noisily.
