I'm not sure if Twitter has "responsibilities" to begin with. It has what we - as a society - give it the legitimacy to have.
I wish you were right but it’s an influential platform no matter how much we would like to pooh pooh it. It’s right there in the linked article:
You're right but IMO that part of the article that you highlighted should be the news, not the "we should make Musk do something".
Musk is a billionaire that thrives on attention so any form of headline that cites his name is playing his game.
Twitter is a company with investors. They should be accountable to what happens in their domain. And not by having their wrist slapped because -- for the nth time -- something bad happened. Media should be saying by now that Twitter is a bad place. Like they did with other social networks before.
It's a private company and the only investor that matters is musk.
