Thought experiment: Your business is located at 420 West 69th Street. Along comes X and takes that address away from you? Would you like that?

  A "would you like something being taken away from you?" is not a thought experiment but a suggestion on what to think. Secondly, I don't think this comparison with an address by a random stranger for no apparent reason is correct to begin with

  I would not like that, but also understand how purchased real property, which has a long history dating thousands of years and a whole legal system and framework on point getting into even minutiae (Rule Against Perpetuities anyone?) is different than squatting on a generic username on someone’s new tech platform for free. In the former case, I would usually have legal recourse, unless this is a dystopian future where Twitter can leverage eminent domain. It’s a bad comparison.

  If x owned the entire entire street than yes. It isn't even remotely a good comparison.
