Controlled how?

I ask because I'm pretty sure real (non-US government) people post to Twitter and get real retweets. How is the US government controlling it?

I imagine this would have blown wide open a long time ago if true. (Also Occam's Razor?)

Social control and power is never complete and absolute. Even very direct coercion can often be ignored, worked around or endured except for very extreme cases.
