If Trump actually closed it (not going to happen), then something may come along to replace Twitter, but it certainly wouldn't act like Twitter.

  Why wouldn't it? Proven good formula and a hole in the market. A dozen clones would spring up immediately.

Social media can only survive because of safe harbor provisions. If sites become responsible for the content they host, social media as we know would instantly die out.

  You are not forced to follow or interact poeple you disagree with.

    Funny you say, but on social platforms we know you are kind of forced, through suggestions and ads.

      Newspapers "force" you to read articles by their writers and ads as well... This has nothing to do with social media.

        Newspapers are curated and responsible for what they publish.

  So would a vast number of things. github, blogs, cloud, public web hosting of almost any kind.

    Sure. I'm not saying that I think it would be good, just that it's possible.

  Making public comments anywhere online impossible? I don't think that's helpful.
