Elon Musk to Buy Twitter? - My 3 Reasons Why This Doesn't Matter

Peter Saddington analyzes Elon Musk's attempt to purchase Twitter, arguing its significance is overstated. He questions the platform's claim as a true public forum. Saddington points out the relatively small percentage of active users compared to the global population, suggesting its influence is more limited than perceived. He posits that Twitter is not the public square for the world. Saddington draws from his personal experiences with censorship on Twitter, highlighting the potential for biased content moderation. He acknowledges Musk's stated intention to promote free speech on the platform, aligning with concerns Saddington has previously voiced. However, the core of his argument rests on the limited scope of Twitter's actual reach and impact. He then says that out of 25 million users, only a couple hundred thousand are from America.
