There are other companies in the queue before them. Twitter isn't that significant and the only reason it makes news these days is due to Trump and his blubber.
Just read all the dark Science Fiction story out there and you'll see that they come true while we are diverting further and further away from the bright future depicted in Star Trek and similar.
Max Headroom, 1984, Brave New World, THX1138, Soylent Green, Fahrenheit 451, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Running Man, Neuromancer, Logan's Run, The Dispossessed, Altered Carbon, A Clockwork Orange, Earthworks (Aldiss), The Wasp Factory, Darwin's Radio, The Stars My Destination, Memoirs Found in a Bathtub (Lem), After the Flood (P.C Jersild), The Trial (Kafka), Hyperion (Dan Simmons) to mention a few that are more or less dark.
Trivia: I did meet P.C. Jersild once when he had lost the book he was working on due to a computer malfunction, I was able to recover it.
Not eliminate them, but put constraints on them and also demand higher quality on them. Unused patents should be put into public domain if they are unused to prevent anti-competitive behavior, used patents should be taxed.
The problem with radiation is in general not at the reactor but throughout the whole chain and to that the longevity of the radiation of both enrichment byproducts and the waste after the fuel has been used that adds to the problems with nuclear energy.
Just consider the full life cycle cost, not just the cost today, but also the cost to maintain the waste for the next 10k years.
It's already offshored to India, what you see in Silicon Valley is more shells and sales organizations and not so much tech anymore. The bulk tech work is done offshored already.
The most prominent problem is that the rust belt jobs all were centered around a single business, which shows that anything that's too specialized will suffer as soon as conditions changes.
Areas that are more diversified don't suffer from changes in conditions and economy as much as areas depending on a single business.
But it's not really true that either, there's an optimal point somewhere when it starts to become worse on the other end of the spectrum as well.
Find the optimal point and you have progress, not having the optimal point and you cause problems.
Then we have the grade of corruption involved too - and a lot of politicians are corrupted regardless of country. It only comes down to that it manifests itself in different ways.
And even the x86 solution is a permutation of the 8080 solution, which you see when you realize that the x86 has a segmented addressing of 64k per chunk.
Later versions of the x86 got rid of the segmentation, but for those of us that programmed for MS-DOS that's one reality we had to work with.

Gord is one dude I sure want to be friend with and not mess up things for.

That already exists - it's called railroad.
User-replaceable batteries wouold be sufficient.
Who's AdDuplex and why should we trust them?
Looks like it's an online advertising company and by default those outfits aren't to be trusted unless the opposite is proven.

And if it's not possible to find the copyright holder? A lot of companies have gone defunct over the years for one reason or another.

Then link to a fake tracker that sets a value that's fake.
Everyone that already runs adblocking won't notice this anyway.
