The world is witness to a Twitter emergence as neither Cathedral nor Bazaar but commons. A commons eclipsing media, politics and meaning as “kind” of platform but space that is disintermediated by design for human voiced narrative, as in mano mano (face-to-face).
Persons able to voice bots, avatars, Associations, pseudonyms, etc…who have, for so long, enjoyed Twitter ‘handle‘ anonymity, henceforth will fail to clear, forge or manipulate authentication thresholds which Twitter is set to implement for tiered access. A step-up to the microphone analogy ‘state your name’ protocol or shout from the bleachers faceless schema or protest outside the fence en masse with all other non-authenticated nameless masses. Gone are Twitter days of top posted en masse tweets.
No laws necessary in cyberspace. Doxxing and hate crimes follow into real life where consequences exist by jurisdiction. No Billionaire get rich scheme, Elon Musk is rich beyond all mortals living or dead, Twitter is empowered to launch into a first order Internet space. Above the fray of politics, media and ”ism” ideology Twitter might be literally hosted in space if necessary above planet earth. Twitter now has the connections and leadership to accomplish the impossible - world commons.
