re: Crazy idea: Should the US Govt buy twitter?

Except in the case of Twitter/social media, which has become the de facto public square. That’s the huge flaw in the “well it’s a private company” argument that both sides of the political aisle use only when it suits their goals. It’s intellectually dishonest and we all know it.

Only because we make it so. The answer has always been for conservatives to abandon twitter, ignore it, and ostracize it...but conservatives unfortunately cant even be bothered to do that. Instead we want a our evil govt that we are actively fighting at every step to regulate it for us instead of the free market.
