I'd be perfectly happy if Biden shut down his Twitter once he took office.
I agree.


But I have a solution. We should set up a regulatory body to review all tweets first. This should not be in the hands of big tech. Nor should it be politicized. We need an independent government body to review and make all decisions fairly.


Unfortunately, this also means that any tweets sent from any verified source will take 18-180 months to review. So get used to hitting submit and not seeing your tweet go live for 1-10 years. You know, red tape and all that.

I guess they could just raise my taxes to hire more regulators but who the hell wants that?
