Jon Ronson explains that Twitter started as a place of deshaming where people could admit secrets about themselves and feel conn
ected to others. What does he indicate is our purpose now that it has become the place where voiceless people have a voice? * O to connect with others who share our voice O to "get" people who misuse their privilege via shaming O to hunt for people's shameful secrets to "get" people who misuse their privilege via shaming AND to hunt for people's shameful secrets
According to the already stated information, Jon Ronson explains that Twitter was initially a place where people could be safe and admit some secrets about themselves and not be shamed about it, instead feel connection to others.
However, he indicates that our purpose now that it has become the place where voiceless people have a voice is to connect with others who share our voice.
The effect of the simile in this passage makes the passage more interesting and gives it that extra "boost" to help the reader understand what is going on.
