Please give some concrete examples (which aren't a decade old) of twitter being the bane of billionaires and corrupt nation states, that would help a lot. For now my only reaction to your comment is 'huh?'

Elon himself didn't like that an account was tweeting the location of his private jet, generating bad publicity, going so far as paying for the owner of the account to stop.

Trivial, yes, but does show how it can be an annoyance even through simple things.

Are there even examples from a decade ago?

below someone predictably mentioned the Arab Spring. Not sure if that even counts, but that was the reason for my restriction.
