How is this any different than filtering out obscenity or hate speech? The content is objectionable and goes against the rules of both social networks. Trump is getting a pass because he holds the highest government office. Plenty of others have been banned for less.
- jlarocco 6y agoMaybe part of the problem is that Facebook and Twitter are positioning themselves both as social networks and as media outlets. As a social network, they should protect users from obscenity and hate speech, but as a media outlet they really shouldn't editorialize. In some sense, at least as I see it, there's a big difference between following a friend or coworker versus following Trump or some celebrity.
