it’s different in this case. twitter is nothing without users. oil companies don’t just sell car fuel. they also sell oil for plastics, lubricants, fuel for ships and heating, etc… twitter would die. oil companies would survive.
I agree that people should stop using twitter and if nobody used it, it would stop being relevant. But it is not. We’ve put a big piece of our “interaction infrastructure” in the hands of a small number of maniacs. If those maniacs misbehave, they need to be punished.

Just nationalize twitter and be done with it.
