It’s difficult to say whether Twitter is good or bad.
On the one hand, it is a cesspool of vitriol and hatred, encouraging the wrong types of communication and widening the nation’s political chasm. On the other, it provides a voice for disenfranchised citizens and communities, inspiring social change and opportunity.
Then there is that middle ground of Twitter. When Internet trolls can be hideous and rude—but they get their just punishment. When those who use their power and influence to spread false truths get put in their place. Here are 19 of those times:
1. When Chrissy Teigen asked a fan for modeling advice:
thank you, Heidi. in the future I will try harder to be the best cover model. if you could please send me specific tips and tricks (or past covers you've shot for reference!) that would be so awesome https://t.co/UAvwS71lg2
