Twenty years of Twitter: lessons on Big Tech's gatekeeper power

Original: Centralisering internet geeft poortwachters Big Tech teveel macht. 4 lessen na 20 jaar Twitter: https://www. groene.nl/a

A Dutch Green magazine essay marks twenty years of Twitter by arguing that the centralisation of the internet has handed Big Tech gatekeepers too much power over public debate. Drawing on the platform's history, it offers four lessons: small platforms feel better, free speech cannot be privatised, algorithms should not govern public discourse, and the online town square needs rebuilding on more decentralised foundations.

Why now: Growing concern over Big Tech's control of online public discourse keeps debates about decentralisation and platform power alive.
