Reminder of a lesson repeating again and again throughout history: banning twitter will make them more powerful.
Legislating against it legitimizes it and gives it a boost - "why would they ban it if they weren't dangerous for speaking the truth?"
Germany banning Nazi speech after WW2 legitimatized Nazis and gave them a boost in the 1950's?
They were also banned in the 1920s. It just took a war with several million dead to discredit them. And now 80 years later they're back, despite still being banned.
