I think twitter has always been run by governments/special interests. Remember the arab spring that started in 2010? The cia armed and trained a bunch of rebels that helped overthrow a whole bunch of governments. The TV laughably sold it as some totally organic revolution. The TV also heavily sold twitter as a platform that finally gave the people a voice and made the revolution possible. It's like had they never heard of other social media platforms, message boards people's own personal websites etc? But no according to the TV only twitter made this possible.
The point I'm trying to make is twitter would never be pushed by the establishment media unless it was a controlled platform.
