Twitter: For when you need confirmation that even the most reasonable take can sex videos grindrbring out the most venomous replies.
That’s the experience Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s social media team had on Thursday. The Democrat from Massachusetts shared a linkto a USA Todaystory about new regulations she would support that would mandate a universal charger type for mobile devices. While Warren didn’t specify that she would prefer to mandate USB-C chargers, it stands to reason that’s what would win the day if any legislation about this subject were drafted. That’s because the European Union is on the waytowards mandating USB-C itself.
But of course, even an innocuous push for universal phone chargers brought out people who don’t want the government to do anything about anything ever. Warren’s replies and quote tweets were full of people making the case against such legislation, usually with a better reply making thecase forit immediately after.
