I wonder that Lβ€’πŸ”› 🦌 be gradually destroying this massive πŸ₯, one of the vast, fastest and easiest networks where people instantly flock all together to hear trending news, get more informed and connect to each other. If this falls down absolutely, real online people will hardly/not know where to go and gather better news/info, or people will eventually just get less or up to no news/info from the Internet ever especially amid serious events ~~indirectly on behalf of powerful people desiring to dispel the noise about their schemes and mischiefs~~.

(Despite misinformation on this platform and everywhere of course), There are official news press, actual journalists, company official pages, open public servants, active advocates, engaging celebrities, proper fandoms and figured people and ordinary people (who witness/experience those events) on this platform almost (good for official statements and contents straight directly from them). Without it, people(audience) will have to take more time and greater effort in further browsing "everywhere else" on Internet just to confirm an unverified info by the real people(source).

Hence, this is(?) why people are still visiting and keep always coming back to this automatically. But sadly based on many news and then continual criticisms I heard, so this platform is having deteriorated by the current administration with their disappointing decisions and recently frustrating implementations (should they be focusing on redefining misinformation, malbots and netiquettes for better configuring securities and protection instead.)

Are you trying to say that Twitter, represented by the "πŸ₯" emoji, despite having issues with misinformation, plays a pivotal role in the global information landscape? You value its functionality as a swift and accessible platform where people from various backgrounds - including official news outlets, actual journalists, companies, public servants, advocates, celebrities, fandoms, and ordinary citizens - can share and receive information.

You express a concern that an entity symbolized by the "🦌" might be negatively impacting Twitter, which could potentially lead to its downfall. You worry about the consequences of such a scenario, as you believe that people might then struggle to find alternative reliable sources of news and information. They may also have to spend more time and effort verifying the authenticity of these sources.

In your view, the current administration of the platform has made disappointing decisions and implemented frustrating policies. Rather than these, you suggest that the administration should concentrate their efforts on addressing the misinformation problem, and on improving the security and protection mechanisms for the users of the platform.

Finally, you seem to be advocating for an increased recognition of the intrinsic value and benefits of social media and social networking sites. You emphasize their crucial role in information dissemination, and you desire that users become more aware of these platforms' significance in our digital age. Despite your critique, you remain attached to Twitter, as evidenced by the fact that people, including yourself, keep coming back to it. Does this adequately represent your thoughts?
