A
massive "tweet war" has broken out after
actress, model and political activist Eva Longoria started to
encourage people to use their votes in the election. It was when
Longoria, who is democratic, started retweeting what the republican
supporters were writing. According to her Tweets this was in order to
create a discussion, and not because she had changed her own view. "I
use Twitter as a platform for all Americans and their opinions. Sorry
if people were offended by retweet. Obviously not my words or my
personal view. I respect all Americans #FreedomOfSpeech"
she tweeted earlier today. She then tweeted "I retweet many people I don't agree with for the purpose of discussion
and dialogue, that’s democracy...and boy did this create dialogue!" She received lots of support, but also lots of hate-tweets. Is this what Twitter has become? I thought Twitter was supposed to be about sharing opinion and using your voice. Which is exactly what Eva Longoria is doing.
