Twitter banning and censoring Trump was an extremely outrageous action. Only very short-sighted and brainwashed people cheer for it because they are unable to imagine whom this playform with enormous reach would ban next. What if it'll be your favourite candidate?

Of course, you'll say that your candidate will never break ToSs, but we've seen just today that these terms are rather random and can change on a whim.

Think just one step further into the future.



It was only because Trump worked really hard to earn that banning with his false claims about an election being stolen. It's not something Twitter wanted to have to do. But Trump was acting in a very dangerous manner concerning the democratic outcome of an election which he refused to accept.
