At this very moment, reasonable people are debating the very real possibility that Twitter could be removed from both the Apple and Google app stores.

So, doesn't that astonishing fact deny pretty much every claim in your post?

Crazies (the least perjorative term I could think of) that have the power to eject an App used by hundreds of millions of people, from those people's own platform, are dangerous -- to our liberty.

And, when people are starving, and are forced to use only their oppressive regime's worthless money: these issues put citizens' lives at risk.

So, yes: these are things people care about. Many just don't yet realize they could be the victims of these dangerous bullies forcing these sub-standard tools on them.

No, and saying it's "astonishing" and "it's a threat to liberty" is ridiculous and incredibly overdramatic.

It's just an app. Companies rise and fall, it's how it works. We lived just fine before it, we will be just fine after.

Something will replace Twitter just like something replaced Friendster and MySpace.
