There is a good tendency of Twitter content to be acceptable for everybody. Almost every user is prone to employ the language which is accepted by any audience, and would never use obscene phrases publicly. However, when cases of obscene word employment happen, bloggers tend to soften their effect not to shock anybody who wouldn't like to stumble upon indecency.
However, sometimes the exceptions also happen. Some days ago a user named MediCann issued an article about medical marijuana and its researches. His account was only created yesterday, and subscribed to some twitterers. Some of them subscribed to it back, of course. This profile gives an URL to a web-source which represents a business giving people evaluations which provide green light for medical marijuana use.
As I was completely out of the matter about this kind of business and actions which companies take towards promoting it, I asked my acquaintance to shed light upon it. He reported that MediCann is a respected company in California, and not one medical marijuana dose is sold without its permission.
The fact that astonished me the most is that the business announced online marijuana store on the way, and the fact that was far less astonishing is that purchasing marijuana should be kind of more complicated than just filling an application. But the matter is not only in MediCann itself, or the level of legitimacy its activity bears.
The matter of potential concern is that this business (or actually any other businesses of its kind) promotes its activities with the use of Twitter and brings information to many people's minds, some of them getting interested with it. This occasion leads to an idea that such kind of promotion should be forbidden on Twitter, as the service should be secure for all types of audience (particularly in view of the fact that a new user should be over 13 years old, and it's not the age when a person should get positive information on marijuana).
There's one suggestion for Twitter developers: to employ a ranking engine, for the bloggers to decide for sure how their accounts should be determined. Obviously, most of the accounts can remain G-rated according to their current status, but some users should define their blogs as R-rated or X-rated due to the level their companies deserve. Of course it would be kind of additional headache for Twitter owners but the fact that enraged parents can sue them because of inappropriate content brings even more problems than introducing some kind of limitation for the businesses in question. |
