- colejohnson66 6y agoI’m curious how that would turn out? What would happen if Trump was banned? While I’m against censorship, banning someone for not following your “code of conduct” is well within your rights.
- incompatible 6y agoI'd guess Trump would move to a new platform, and take his social media circus with him. Twitter presumably wants to keep that traffic.
- lastres0rt 6y agoThe best example is what happened when Alex Jones found himself deplatformed -- although I think the simplest answer there is "too little too late".
- anewdirection 6y agoYou mean enforcing section 230, but you are correct.
