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.

For my new Mastodon follows, a quick primer on me:

•I'm a human rights lawyer, author, immigrant, father, husband, and dad joke maven.😉

•I'm at @QasimRashid across most every social media platform so if you prefer Patreon, IG, FB, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Post, Twitter, or Spoutible you can find me there.

•I hope you sub to my free email list serve. I promise I don't spam or sell lists, but do enjoy the direct dialogue. Sub here: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/q9i0r8

Much love & thank you for the follow!❤️

With Trump back on Twitter,
it’s a good time to watch this Jan 6 hearing. It covers each of Trump’s tweets that day, including those that have been deleted, and features multiple Trump WH staff describing his inexcusable conduct during the violence. https://january6th.house.gov/legislation/hearings/072122-select-committee-hearing
