How much can this be abused before it is overdue to treat X as a common carrier?

Edit: why is this being downvoted? given how critical X is it should be regulated by the government(s). Yes we all moved to the fediverse but we are a minority, millions still rely on X for better or worse.

You had one downvote, presumably from the person who replied to you twice.

Edit what I can’t figure out though is now why they continue to pileup for you given your question isn’t wild.

Idk dude.

I'm childish and downvote anyone who refers to twitter as "x". It's like you're on your knees licking Elons bum, right after he told you to call it x, you did what you were told lol.

Also I never got on the twitter bandwagon as it just didn't appeal to me. My social media addiction was reddit.

Twitter sucks. X is a letter. Or a variable in algebra.

Oh dear. If I were I wouldn’t be advocating for the government to effectively seize Twitter. I hated the nepo apartheid baby before it was cool.

Oh I'll give you that, I'd love the gov to seize it and make it a public utility. First order of business is put the name back to twitter because duh. And bring back the little blue bird cuz it reminds me of birdie sanders.

Ain't gonna happen though lol.
