Simply not true. Roughly 1/10th of the US uses twitter actively. [1]
Even if everyone did use it, it's still a private platform owned by a company. Not the government. That means the company gets to run it.
Which is it? Do you want the federal government to stay out of shit, or do you want it to micromanage things? What's your stance on section 230? Without it, they would have been forced to ban Trump years ago.
