Life is strange. The future is unpredictable. You find that scary. You seek answers everywhere, but the more you discover, the less you know. The confusion slowly dissipates, and fear starts to take its place. All hope seems lost. In the darkness, you see a flicker of light.

By the time you read this, it will have been more than a month since Twitter took action in what could be a fatal turning point in this social-media giant’s life.
