Trump seems to think Twitter is a public service within his domain, rather than a private company with its own agenda & governance. I'm glad Twitter is responding to him, I respect them for the position they're taking.

In addition to his executive order [1], Trump has threatened to delete his Twitter account [2].

Can you cite an alternative platform similar to twitter?

Mastodon is quite similar. Also, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Medium, Blogger, etc. will all let you post content to a group of follower.

  I don't think any of those are the same at all. That's like banning someone from using a refrigerator and telling him he can use picnic coolers instead.
  These monopolies have their niche.
