Any freedom of speech you think you may be entitled to on Twitter is actually voluntarily granted to you by a transnational corporation.

And the only alternative I can see is a new global organisation, akin to the UN, to create a competing public network.

Because no other enterprise, without private subsidy & a free (as in cost) business model can hope to compete at scale.
-
@aral so you have changed your mind about free? -
@wildebees What would make you think that? Of course not. -
@aral no premium network could compete with a free one -
@wildebees At scale. That's a very important qualifier. And not a free one but a venture-capital subsidised free one. -
@aral and no premium one will be all to price correctly across borders, and people's relationships/ interests don't respect borders
