    Overexaggerating headlines online? I thought that trend was as old as news sites itself.

      Right? It isn’t “public” safety, because you have to be like 4 layers deep to be in danger.

      1. A Twitter user
      2. Identifiable
      3. Post
      4. In a blocked conversation

      “Public” refers to people just “walking around”, uninvolved I’m whatever is going on. So to relate to this it’d be like, “uninvolved Twitter readers being followed home”
