Word? What about the rest of the media, should it all be state-run?

TLDR: Twitter isn'tmedia but the world's public forum and data reservoir that is too big to fail but not beholden to anyone. It shouldn't be in the hands of a private individuals because the questions that Twitter's creates and beings regarding freedom of speech, political expression and data ownership that can only be resolved by government being proactive and interacting with the platform. Also Twitter is not a profitable enterprise and never will be due to it's communication model.

Twitter is an interactive platform, where people dynamically communicate with each other. It's not really media in a traditional sense where someone or an entity is broadcasting to a group of people and the other people are observing and mindlessly commenting in a comment section.

It has no real economic market value because the content on Twitter scares off any major companies from wanting to put any sort of exclusive content on Twitter and you really cannot monetize people dynamically communicating. Fucking Twitter Hoes are probably the largest segment of content creators on Twitter.

You can advertise something that has the broadcast model, of one person, creating a piece of content and someone mindlessly watching and commenting. You can give them ads. You can create create partnerships. Companies will want to broadcast stuff on your platform because they can editorialize their content and gain a sense of authority. That's why YouTube, Tik Tok, and Instagram are successful platforms, while Twitter struggles to justify its existence on the financial sheet and Facebook has become the haven of old people and conspiracy theories.

On Twitter , Reddit and Facebook you can't have a broadcast model since everyone can comment immediately. The value will always be in the data that you collect and the number of people you have on the platform, which is why Twitter and Facebook have always been in the eyes of governments. This is the trade that governments play in.

And this idea of something being state-run vs. something being privately run needs to die in future.

Companies like Google, Twitter, Meta are basically governments unto themselves. They probably have more intricate discussions about proper use of power and influence and policy than any government has and every will.

The CEO of Twitter or Google or Meta has more power than any president and due to them being private citizens and not public officials, they aren't beholden to the public, yet they control all of the world's data and can do with it what they want. Who wants the world's data in charge of fucking shareholders, board of directors and shit?

So yeah, to end all of these stupid debates about free speech and who can do what and say what and how to make Twitter profitable so it can stay alive, the government should've brought it, appointed the previous CEO as a director of information. Get rid of the porn, get rid of the racist shit, and the USA gov't clarify and define what freedom of speech is, what data privacy rights are, in real time. Usher in a new era of the internet.

But nah, we gonna sit here and let brain rotted political social media warriors fight over the app and any other social media app that serves as a public forum.

Twitter, Google and Meta are essentially unofficial ministries of information for America anyway.

How is Twitter not media??? It's social media, just like every other platform and even ABW.

And since when has the government solved anything? You want the idiots in both parties(who serve the lobbies that put them in office) deciding what you read and can say? This ain't China, thank god for that shit.

We have NPR, NPR isn't editorialized by the government. The government own plenty of media outlets they don't exercise editorial control over. Same with China, same with any other government.

And obviously, you rather be at the mercy of one man, a board of directors, and shareholders lol that you have absolutely no control over, believing their politics, interests and biases do not control what is seen and heard lol.

There's nothing that exists outside of politics and political control of the government.

And no, interactive dynamic platforms is not media in the same way like Fox News is, with a distinct point of view, with a top down hierarchy.

Thinking of platforms like IRC Chats, internet forums, Reddit, Discord, Facebook as media, is just people not deeply thinking about media is in regards to the model and forms that media takes due to technology, authority and authorship.

If people wanna consider that any form of communicate that occurs through a medium is social media, passing a note in class and writing on it and sending it around the classroom is social media lol. Having a phone party is with your friends is social media.

But people don't think that hard lol.
