No politician nor public servant nor government department should be able to use it under those circumstances. They really need silent accounts, that cannot tweet and are completely anonymous.

You can create an account with just your email

And soon after is blocked and you're asked for a phone number. Tried making an account with email few times, followed few profiles, made a reply, and always ended up in a verify with phone number wall.

That might be true in some countries.
