      What Trump doesn't get is that if he hits Twitter hard enough to damage it, users will just switch to a Twitter clone based in some country outside his reach. He's not fighting Twitter. He's fighting possible Twitters. That's a much more powerful adversary.

      I’m going to ask an incredibly stupid question here: what if Twitter HQ moved to Canada or Mexico, and Jack declares the company to now be a non-US company?

      Someone from the German government invited him to move there.

          Trump could ask their govt friend there to take It down. The way Biden did in Ukraine. They r all a bunch of corrupt people

          So @jack would move to the one European country with the greatest restrictions on free speech? This strikes me as huge miscalculation by @paulg - which country on the planet will regulate social media less than the US?

          Ah, but the calculus here is really “Restrictions I like vs those I don’t.”

          Nah, perhaps a more liberal country, I wish, virtual countries were a thing.

          Does the HQ need to move or just the tax entity? A lot of commodity companies operate at a different place, but the tax entity is essentially a post box out of Luxembourg?

          If twitter has to move then the logical step is that Trump follows China and just bans twitter. American users cant access twitter and a government controlled replacement (or more likely a fb product) steps in and fillls twitters void. Crazy this is a real scenario...
