Or fund decentralized alternatives and have him move his weight from Twitter to that.    Journalists would have to follow. It would take the political power from Twitter and on top of that it wouldn't be government competing against Twitter, it would be open source competing. It's nuts to me to take something centralized on a server and make it a "public utility". It's not water/power/gas which are only made into public utilities because competition cannot crop up effectively. There's plenty of logistical ability to create a competitor to Twitter, but no one wants to do it because it's not worth the cost.
