Love Jack Dorsey tastefully reminding Congress that Twitter is like nine times smaller than the “Big Tech” companies he’s constantly getting dragged into hearings with. 
Congress: We must rein in the digital ad behemoths! And the companies that control our phones! And a massive retailer with a drone division!
Oh and also that website where everybody posts their hot takes and apology screenshots, get that one in there too.

Twitter punches way above its weight in media influence — it’s a de facto wire service for lots of journalists and public figures. But as an actual digital platform, it’s *way* smaller than Facebook/Google, without any of those companies’ non-social-media divisions.
If you’re gonna regulate Twitter because people say stuff on there that gets widely picked up by media outlets, you might as well call PRNewswire or Fox News into Section 230 hearings too.
