This is actually an argument for why Twitter shouldn't exist.

Twitter makes it super easy to do mass warrantless surveillance, because Twitter gathers millions of people together in the same searchable public space. It's a honeypot.

What's dangerous about the "public square" concept is that Musk doesn't just want a public square — one public space among many, one among equals — he wants the public square, a monopoly on online conversation.

We shouldn't have all of our conversations, political or otherwise, in one place. That's a giant mistake. We need decentralization for our own safety and freedom.

Didn't Snowden show us, that there already is warrantless mass surveillance as soon as you use the internet?

No matter where or what site you use.
