Perhaps worse, in the places I’ve lived the main communications from emergency services and law enforcement are posted on Twitter.

Yeah, this too.

I kind of feel like Elon was actually right that Twitter has become the "public square", but I disagree violently that he should be the one to control and steward it. We need a non-government controlled, non-corporate/profit-driven Twitter. The fediverse is okay but the UX needs to be completely frictionless so everyone can use it (also my mum).
