#12I would suggest that besides concentrating on the world leader issue that Twitter consider some sort of expiration, short at that, for all tweets so as to put down this revenge/vengeance oriented the woke have created.
people complain about fake news and rightly so but the cycle of hatred that results from these purity tests applied to anyone because of past tweets is worse

#13Remove the ability to have followers from world leaders, remove the ability to be liked from world leaders' tweets. Keep the ability to retweet world leaders' tweets, but prevent retweets to be added more from the retweeters.
What would it mean to not allow followers on Twitter?

#14We need a public place where anyone can get verified and only verified people are allowed to interact (in addition to more traditional as well as anonymous spaces)

#15World leaders in developed countries should not be depending on Twitter or private media companies at all. There is no good reason why the President of the United States cannot publish his (in the case of Trump, ill-formed) thoughts directly to whitehouse.gov. We should demand and expect that governments publish directly to the web in an immutable way that is archived to satisfy our duty to history. Twitter made thin…
Don’t worry, the national archives are working on it: https://www.trumplibrary.gov/research/archived-social-media

Twitter really was horrible, it enabled Trump's keyboard warrior persona. He was too chickenshit (or lazy) to actually say things with a camera and press in front of him, but with Twitter he can just shit post with no consequence.

#17This feels like a honeypot for twitter to keep tabs on people that disagree with their policy. They are going to do whatever they want at the end of the day, they've given me absoloutely no confidence to believe that they want to do whats right.
You really overestimate the level of importance that everyone else places on whatever it is you have to say.
Yeah, this is Twitter, not Cultural Revolution China. Jack isn't Mao with his Hundred Flowers campaign.

#18While on first sight, I find it applaudable that Twitter cares and wants to learn, I think it's not in their responsibility anymore to moderate.
They've proven to be incapable and overwhelmed about making legitimate decisions.
They should get regulated and they should stop regulating.

I was thinking for world leaders' tweets, it should strictly be news, not popularity contests, not hype machine, not rage-inducing machine. I'm thinking of making it strictly news.
In terms of how people can get the world leader's news (tweets). Maybe something like news feed on their twitter feed, like Youtube has some local news on my feed even though I don't subscribe to anything.

No one would be able to see the world leader's tweets in their home feed. They would have to go to the specific world leader's page (or use a 3rd party app too once again see Tweets from the world leaders in the home feed).
The practical effect would be that only people who are very interested in a world leader (and bots) would retweet them. This would make the Twitter experience even more insular.
