It's already happening to be honest. And sadly it means that the genuine, non-aggressive people who just wanted to be seen and heard will find their platform going right along with it.

mmm Twitter is really awful, I was also very disappointed with the Harry Potter actors coming out against her. They're of course entitled to voice their opinions but I was disappointed that they never said that the abuse she was getting was unacceptable, the woman who made them all millionaires and who had been a friend to them
