      Who says he isn’t with a personal/private account and uses the public persona twitter one for the reach. As shitty as twitter is its still the gravitational center for bursting news.

      He likely doesn’t want to get too involved with social media. Stuff easily consumes you. Twitter is just good to reach out to people, which is kinda bad that Twitter got that big.

    They already have, and they can do it in secret and hold people without trial. Once you give someone power, it’s hard to take it away.

      Yeah, just like hoping the Patriot Act would go away worked out well for us.

        Internet is different, it is impossible to control. Sure they can make it harder but to 100% control - good luck.
