Summary: The commenter opposes any modifications or cancellations to the 2022 settlement terms for Twitter (XCorp). They argue that XCorp is responsible for pre-existing liabilities and that the current terms are necessary to protect consumers from corporate non-compliance.
I ask that XCorp not be granted any modifications or cancellation of the 2022 settlement terms. It is unacceptable the XCorp be granted concessions despite its size or ties to current administration. XCorp was fully aware of the situations Twitter got itself into and of all of the subsequent liabilities it held. Just because XCorp says it is not behaving like Twitter did doesn't excuse the fact when it purchased Twitter, it agreed to be responsible for all pre-existing penalties and liabilities. Too many mega corporations today get away with non-compliance and get away with it for years before they are "caught" and forced into compliance. Meanwhile, the public suffers at the hand of these companies and rarely find any relief from resulting damages. Any small scale businesses would never have the opportunity to even petition for the kind of relief XCorp is requesting, let alone have it granted. The terms under the Twitter settlement are to protect consumers. They are not unreasonable and are actually what Twitter and now XCorp should have been adhering to from the start. So for XCorp to suggest it is a burden only solidifies the reasoning it should have to continue to honor and comply with the settlement. Consumers are entitled to the strict adherence to begin with. XCorp's requests for modification or relief only demonstrates its belief that strict adherence to the consumer protection afforded by the agreement shouldn't be necessary. The request suggests that XCorp likely doesn't even intend to be as diligent as is required to begin with. They bought Twitter. They knew exactly what they were getting into. They need to be denied.
