I think social media is a real negative force in the world and welcome this as potentially a way to make it better, or at least destroy Twitter and remove one outlet.

I don’t think public companies can reform social media because it’s too profitable. As a private company it may be possible to reform it to still be profitable, but not in a way that harms people.

I feel a benevolent dictator could actually move Twitter in the right direction here... better that than a malevolent (profit motivated) plutocracy.

(Although a. At best it would only be partially benevolent, and b. It will still be a plutocracy)

Well Twitter is both public and unprofitable.
