It operates as the manifestation of two ingrained beliefs:
1. When considering any question I must be rational and logical to the point of dismissing any unverifiable data as preposterous.

I haven't seen any actions where he has prevented people from discussions on the platform within the laws of the United States.
Yes, first mover advantage. I don't think normal non-technically inclined people are going to move their twitter activities to "Threads".
