Tech too big to fail

Sanders may think that campaign finance is the primary issue but imho it's notThe means we use to communicate is privately owned and at least one of the companies is wobbly. Twitter could be acquired by a Chinese company. Or go out of business. Or unilaterally change the way it works. We, mere users, would have no recourse. So far they have been exemplary corporate citizens, but there's nothing that says it has to stay that way, esp with their stock price so low, and going lower.

I wonder if Sanders realizes how dependent he and every other candidate is on Twitter. HRC is no help, btw, she is quite cozy with the tech industry. 

But, maybe sensing that things have changed, she may become more independent? One can hope.
