Everyone hoping antitrust cases are going to solve the Twitter implosion are going to have an unhappy time.

The law isn't going to fix it. Antitrust requires finding that Twitter is market-dominant in the US, which is probably isn't, and the EU is very big but very slow.

I get it; it sucks. But there's no cavalry coming to fix it so you don't have to make hard choices. It lives or dies based only on whether enough users choose to leave to break its dominance.

I´m not hoping that twitter will be fixed at all. I only think that the company will probably end because they are blatantly violating so many regulations that they might need to be made an example for other techs companies.
I understand that big business have a tradition on violating regulations and having preferential treatment but they usually do it in a more discreet way. They usually interpret ambiguous law texts in bad-faith.
Twitter is doing the opposite of that. They are directly opposing the law and government regulators(both from the US, EU and probably other places too). So they will probably be hit with a lot of fines.
