Goodbye, Twitter
Right, but some of that information is necessary for me to receive. Thus it is not my choice whether to use Twitter.

If your government is posting information exclusively to twitter,
that's
the problem that needs fixing, not twitter's legal status as a utility. Additionally, an account isn't needed to view that kind of information on twitter.

I am not saying I need to make an account or that twitter should be treated as a utility. But I cannot control my government.
