People are so afraid of such silly things sometimes, like those people afraid of a U.S. government run twitter. Who has more freedom to express their opinions a normal person at work whose boss can fire them for any reason, or a government worker who has legal guarantees for their speech? Who is less likely to start a war by banning a dangerous world leader from a platform, Twitter, or an independent non-profit entity run by the state.

You can leave Twitter with a few clicks. It's a lot harder to leave your country.
