   My problem with Twitter isn't that a particular billionaire owns it.

   It's that a billionaire can own Twitter.

     Internet services owned by billionaires:

     1. Twitter
     2. Facebook
     3. Instagram
     4. TikTok
     5. Snapchat

     Internet services not owned by billionaires:

     1. Email
     2. IRC
     3. BitTorrent
     4. RSS
     5. HTTP

     So don’t tell me that walled gardens are inevitable and we should just accept surveillance capitalism as the price of doing business.
