Pointing out the wrong path does not require providing a good one: it's better to stay put rather than engaging in a bad path.
I totally agree with you about the cesspool that X/Twitter has become.
I believe it _is_ indeed subject to several violations that it could be sued. That it could be even shut down in several liberal democracies even. Freedom of expression does not protect incitation of hate and violence, neither advertising for illegal drugs or proxenetism for one, and Twitter is littered with that, and repeatedly does not moderate. If it even collaborates with authorities. Only it requires prosecutors and states to act.
But putting the responsibility, the blame, on those that use it "for good" (for lack of a better term) is disinvesting the blame on the people actually in charge of the platform: first, Musk, his investors, and engineers/people working there that would have an alternative; second, law enforcement.
