Yes, living in fear is a new sensation. Samuel Burke, via Brian Stelter on CNN,<\/strong><\/em> reports<\/a> how the tech industry is responding to President-elect Trump’s trigger<\/del> Twitter-finger:<\/p>\n

One incredible thing that’s catching my attention is<\/span> tech CEOs — talking about Trump — are fearing getting a tweet about their companies at 3 a.m. West Coast time <\/strong>since the president-elect often tweets in the 6 a.m. Eastern hour.<\/p>\n

On the one hand I’ve heard from many in the tech community here who say they are eager for a Trump rollback on regulations that could have a positive effect on their business.<\/p>\n

On the other hand — <\/span>multiple tech leaders say they or their PR folks have adjusted their schedules to make sure someone<\/span><\/em> is up at 3 a.m. local time <\/strong>to catch the the tweets out of fear that a Trump tweet could crash their stock and put their company into a frenzy.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The business community loves predictability, and Trump is anything but – and no one filters his Twitter account. While an obvious response might be to hijack his account, I would be more interested to hear if Twitter is suffering more systemic attacks in an attempt to spike the cannon, as it were – Denial of Service, that sort of thing. And was it a foreign enemy – or domestic?<\/p>\n

And how would Trump respond to that? Hold a press conference to denounce his loss of free speech rights?<\/p>\n

Will he ever grow up and stop using Twitter? I don’t mean this as a slam on Twitter, but in the context of a POTUS and his new-found ability to terrify allies and move markets, all in a very irresponsible manner. Between that and the inevitable crudity of the message that can be expressed in 140 characters, it’s not a good mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
