"The cheapest, Small Package, gives access to 50 million tweets for $42,000 a month. Higher tiers give researchers or businesses access to larger volumes of tweets—100 million and 200 million tweets respectively—and cost $125,000 and $210,000 a month."

Reading this over on Techdirt - there is a lot of valid analysis here.
BUT - we both need Section 230, AND we need a way for tech companies to be held accountable when the tools they build create or perpetuate harms.
