    To be fair, he owns the company. He can do with it what he wants.

    You should stop using his shitty platform and take his power away.

      It’s his platform, sure, but the handle was also someone else’s.
      I don’t care what some sign up agreement says, this feels immoral.

        You don’t become one of history’s wealthiest humans by having any kind of moral compass.

        It is immoral, nearly everything Muskow does is immoral and anyone who still uses xitter should be ashamed of themselves.

      I wish I had ever used Twitter so I could leave it. Kinda awkward when you want to boycott something, but you weren’t consuming it in the first place. Same thing happened with Chick-Fil-A.

        Make an account and abandon it. Still wasting their resources.

        I never got the appeal of chick-fil-A, I finally tried like 6 or 7 years ago because someone i knew was raving about it. It was so greasy I got sick a few hours after eating it, I haven’t had it since. I don’t understand how everyone is sitting there eating the greasiest food I’ve ever had and then pretending like they’re not getting the shits an hour later, while they’re raving about it online and to your face. Also its not like I eat veggies 24/7 so fast food obviously upset my stomach… I eat my fair share of pub food, burgers/fries/tater tots, etc…

        That, mixed with their political stance, and they can fuck right off.

        You think THAT’S bad? I wanted to boycott them too, but can’t even flip off the building as I pass it, owing to the nearest one being on the other side of the Atlantic ocean!

          You think the Atlantic is a long way away? Drag’s nearest chickafill is on the other side of the Pacific. It’s so far away that drag never learned how to spell the name!

      I’m not sure you are correct. The @america handle is probably quite valuable. Did he steal it or buy it from the owner?

        If it’s his website he can do whatever he wants no matter the perceived value as long as it doesn’t clash with existing laws. Even if it’s illegal he can probably do it and figure something out.

      It basically just signals “We don’t care about your user handles, we will strip them away from you eventually”.
