Absolutely, which is why I think Twilio needs to be regulated instead of shut down. That in itself is also pretty tricky though, because they're legally prohibited from knowing what their customers use their service for.

That's a shortsighted way to look at it though. If Twilio goes bust, there will be a mad scramble to replace thousands of MFAs and automated SMS messages for just about every software platform and PPI-protecting app and website on the planet.
We're not only talking corporate software outages, which would grind our economy to a screeching halt, but also major impacts on consumer life when email, online banking, utility billing, chain restaurants, e-retailers, Venmo, Uber/Lyft, eBay, etc. all need to reauthenticate every user all at once.
I'm not as familiar with the space Twilio is in as I would like to be, but I know they're a market leader and they have thousands of enterprise customers. Shutting them down would have a massive ripple effect.

Awesome! As a SaaS account exec in a different industry, it would make me pleased as punch to see a client speak so highly of our product!
