Can you purchase products directly on Twitter? Is Twitter taking a cut of such purchases? In other words, is Twitter a market? That's kind of a crucial distinction when discussing the Digital Markets Act.

Reaching customers != conducting business. You can't sell things via Twitter like you can via other companies classified as gatekeepers.

Traveling west? Yes. Traveling west, reaching land, leaving enough evidence to confirm the story five centuries later, making it back, and finally, convincing other people that it happened? No.

This is like a backend developer asking someone using a spreadsheet why don't they just build their own database. Or a sysadmin telling you why don't you just run your own Kubernetes cluster. Unless there's like a 10 person t

The key difference is that ProPublica is a non-profit. There are very few non-profit investigative journalism orgs in the world, but their funding is fundamentally different than for-profit news orgs. They rely on public grants to keep thin
