Twitter is not a public service/utility. You shouldn’t rely on it for important, factual informatilon.

it should be treated as a public service when government entities use it as a means to communicate with the public.

This communication should never be in hands of a private cooperation

Just like hurricane warnings and so on are using the system designed for such things and not just… Twitter or Facebook or something

Then the government should take it. Just like they have done with telephone lines and power lines and the internet. They should utilitize Twitter and create government jobs for technical maintenance. A publicly owned and tax maintained communication platform sounds way better than whatever Twitter is now.
