Is The Twitter Bird Fleeing The Coup?

The great promise of social media, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. was that they were supposed to have created a powerful and open public sphere, in which ideas could spread and networks of political action could form. According to Time magazine, according to Time, more than 11 million young people have fled popular social media platforms since 2011, and are spending most of their time with messaging apps that connect only those who are already connected. Perhaps, the political promise of social media may never be realized.
