Well it's the politician's own fault if they use Twitter et al to communicate. It's not like they don't have the means to make their voices heard in other ways. Imo we should ban all politicians (and police departments etc) from using platforms controlled by private entities for official communication.

You completely missed my point.

An incredibly small group of people have amassed an incredibly large amount of power.

That is not good for Democracy.

Has that ever been different? I can't think of a time in history where power wasn't held by just a handful of people.

Yes, it has been different. Global power-inequality has never been greater than at the present.
