    To be fair, he owns the company. He can do with it what he wants.

    You should stop using his shitty platform and take his power away.

      It’s his platform, sure, but the handle was also someone else’s.
      I don’t care what some sign up agreement says, this feels immoral.

      I wish I had ever used Twitter so I could leave it. Kinda awkward when you want to boycott something, but you weren’t consuming it in the first place. Same thing happened with Chick-Fil-A.

        You think THAT’S bad? I wanted to boycott them too, but can’t even flip off the building as I pass it, owing to the nearest one being on the other side of the Atlantic ocean!

          You think the Atlantic is a long way away? Drag’s nearest chickafill is on the other side of the Pacific. It’s so far away that drag never learned how to spell the name!

      It basically just signals “We don’t care about your user handles, we will strip them away from you eventually”.

      I’m not sure you are correct. The @america handle is probably quite valuable. Did he steal it or buy it from the owner?

        If it’s his website he can do whatever he wants no matter the perceived value as long as it doesn’t clash with existing laws. Even if it’s illegal he can probably do it and figure something out.
