Sanctions were applied after the social media platform delayed compliance with a federal search warrant that required Twitter to hand over Donald Trump's Twitter data without telling the former president about the warrant for 180 days.

Can we send Twitter to prison?
Corporations are people my friend
Only for free speech purposes but not for criminal or tax.
that is what they say
I'll believe that when a corporation gets executed.
I'm all for corporate death penalty.
Seems fair. If corporations are legally people, they ought to be able to be incarcerated like people or executed like people.
I fully agree with this, I’m just not sure what form this would take.
For execution, a dissolution of all properties, patents, inventory, and all assets seized and sold, followed by barring at least the C-suite from working in the same field ever again?
In my mind, incarceration would be a freeze on all their assets and business operations for a fixed period of time. Execution would mean full liquidation as though they were bankrupt, all their IPs become public domain, like you mention. Perhaps with such equality, owners of corporations would no longer wish them to be considered people.
I imagine a C-suite that caused either of these outcomes wouldn't be popular with the investment class since it would cost them meaningful amounts of money. A ban might not even be nessicary.
Thats a good start.

Yeah, it will go back to Twitter again eventually
I think more likely it will just go away eventually like MySpace.
Sold to Fox Entertainment and primarily abandoned?
Sounds about right... I really did think MySpace was actually completely.gone these days though... Last time I tried to visit (before today) I actually got a 404 error.
MySpace is now a music artist site, it still exists. It will probably outlast Xitter if elon keeps this up.
Hell, I'm surprised... Last time I tried to visit it I got a 404 error.
Ha, corporations are legally people but can't be punished as people. I can't see any way that could be abused.
Probably not, but maybe we could shut them off from the internet.
