Does it feel like your X account belongs to you and you can do whatever you want with it? That’s not true, according to a new court filing from the social media company formerly known as Twitter. It’s an argument that X is making in order to throw a wrench in The Onion’s recent purchase of InfoWars, the conspiracy theory media company run by Alex Jones. And it’s a great reminder that you don’t actually own what you think you own in the digital age.

    A better analogy is i hand you a bullhorn and you shout at randos.

    Do i own your words, even though it’s my bullhorn? No.

      Depends, actually.
      If you lend it to me privately, no. If you hand it to me on a stage, kinda yes.
