#3This 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.

#4Wow, too little, too late. Such bravery asking after Trump left office.

#5Remove 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.

Or they will have justification for removing "problematic" politicians because their userbase said so. You know, democracy. A userbase that already leans one way...

#7World 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 things worse by hiding Trump’s previous tweets. Every voter should be required to read every damn one of them.

You really overestimate the level of importance that everyone else places on whatever it is you have to say.

#10The BBC, with its explicit "public interest" mandate, funded by public money, is constantly criticised for being simultaneously too deferential, opinionated, conservative, and liberal - and that's only in the UK.
How on earth is Twitter going to make a policy that pleases worldwide shareholders, governments (and their oppositions), and the general public?
Maybe I lack imagination, but it feels like Twitter is constantly trying to kick its inevitable fragmentation down the road.
