If you want to punish Musk in a meaningful way, then once the fine has been paid in full, the countdown can start. Once the same amount of time that elapsed between Twitter’s first noncompliance and the fine’s check cleared, then Twitter should be allowed back online. There will always be money to pay fines but they’ll never get the time back. Other companies will take note.

My guess is someone saw what was being built and said “hey, we can build something similar and sell it”, hence the C&D.

Every day I miss my twitter account less and less. I now wish there was a way I could block twitter content inside news articles and such.
