Do you think an European Citizens' Initiative to ban Twitter in the EU would be beneficial and have a possibility of being successful?

I'm sorry if this is not a good community for this question. If not please point me to one.

In my opinion, the advantages of these platforms will far outweigh the disadvantages - provided that the abuse of power can be curbed (opaque algorithms that present fringe positions to a large audience, censorship by the owner, etc.). Regulatory measures are needed for all actors: rules for algorithm transparency, audits. If disclosure or audit fails, platforms can continue to be accessible but must shut down algorithms.

These platforms are literally the reason why the US has a fascist as president.
