Kevin Hart under fire for decade old jokes, steps down from Oscar host selection

And Twitter still doesn't reflect the views of the majority. A minority of the people scream the loudest and complain all the time. Presumably because they really have NOTHING else to do, they exist to be offended for somebody else.

Social media has given them a voice they never had in the real world

Twitter and IG may not yet be 'the majority', but they are certainly the primary communication tool worldwide for people aged 18-50. Every single person in any form of mainstream or cyber-based journalism is active, as are virtually everyone in the legal and political fields and obviously anyone in the entertainment business. Which last I checked television remains the number one channel of information to Americans nationwide

Trump's use of twitter, along with his millions of dedicated Followers is what propelled him to the combined 100,000 vote margin in WI, MI and PA that flipped the electoral college in his favor.

*You* (or I or anyone else) may view the platforms with skepticism and/or disdain but that is akin to someone in the early aughts turning their nose up to 'the internet'

According to Statista, as of Fall of 2018, the two most used social media platforms by teens and young adults are Instagram and Snapchat.

Correct....My ignorance of SC fairly explained by my own age of 58.

But overall social media is still driven by Twitter, especially among the journalists, legal professionals and of course those in the political fields.

Those outside the aforementioned demographic (age 18-50) may well roll their eyes and decry these platforms as "young loudmouths making the most noise", but in doing so they reveal the ironic paradigm shift - that is, the primary lines of social communication in the year 2018 and forward will be driven by people aged 18-50.

And five years from now, it will be driven by people aged 18-55.

Anyone older than that might sneer at this reality but ruefully, increasingly less people are paying them (those older than 55) much attention.

*I* am just happy that I've managed to retain a fair number of connections w those in the younger demos...My three adult kids in their 30s, my five business partners aged 28-45 etc.

Otherwise I myself might be yelling at the majority of Americans younger than me and being frustrated that they refuse to listen to my telling them "how things worked back in my day!!"

This is why Twitter isn't real life.
