While I think your point about needing a place to have conversations that can rectify the backwardness of Hate As A Platform (HAAP?) make sense, there are two points I would make. The first would be that some proof that Twitter was providing that exchange point would help, it seems like instead its a place for trolls and bots to roam free at the moment and Two, and perhaps this is the more important one - we should be hesitant to look to private companies as rights providers. Its not that private companies shouldn't have a conscience, but that we should be cognizant of where we are getting our rights from...

I would be more worried about a DNS provider or a registrar with terms about the kinds of speech allowed.
