    It is not a media company. Twitter doesn’t manufacture the content, they provide the platform. The platform is the technology.

      This is exactly my point. They create, maintain, and develop a technology platform that serves all sorts of media. It is not a media company, they do not make the news. They distribute it. People are just mad they are seeing twitter and elon instead of “Methods for Concatenation in Assembly” or something idk.

      It’s a media company. The only difference between them and a newspaper is a short word limit and they don’t pay their authors. No one is paying Twitter for technology that they produce or for technological services. They get money from ads and subscriptions - the media business model.
