Yes, but being an international speech platform is a massive liability. And when you take a role of an arbiter of what politicians and MNCs can and cannot say you have to navigate thin lines. Just look at the chart of its stock price since IPO to see that its success is not financial. It’s basically a place for first-hand short-form news and for pretend-journalists to do “research” and pad their articles. Oh, and for overly online people to argue about controversial topics.
