They have become the new public square by design and with the assistance of the government. The censorship and propaganda need to be resisted.
They were dead in the water until the media started reporting what is said on twitter as if it is important. It was forcefully injected into tv shows, radio shows, and the news. It is not a public square because everything on it is controlled. It is a propaganda platform. No one is using twitter to say anything important because that is not allowed.
