Twitter is a business and should be regulated by the free market economy

It is a virtual monopoly.

It is not a public utility and should never be used as a primary official means of communication.

"Should never be" and "is" are two different things. It is being used as a significant means of communications, and we cannot ignore the influence it has on the public.

“It is a virtual monopoly.”

It is in no way protected from competition so start a rival service to compete with it.

“Should never be” and “is” are two different things. It is being used as a significant means of communications, and we cannot ignore the influence it has on the public.”

Are you saying that since the business model is successful it should be “nationalize” or “regulated” to make it more fair?
