Social Media Feedback Poll
With the current issues with Twitter (i.e. lack of content moderation (Wired, Politico), increased harassment (New York Times), etc.) we want to hear from the PCA community about your feelings about the PCA staying or leaving Twitter and what you think about other social media options. We have also already expanded our social media platforms to include Facebook and LinkedIn.
