Yea ok.
- galfarragem 6y agoA dangerous precedent is to censor a democratically elected President. Edit: It's sad when we get afraid of commenting anything that can be understood as politically biased.
- ivan_gammel 6y agoThere’s no reason why some selected politicians should be immune to the rules of the platform they have chosen to publish their speeches. Otherwise it would create a form of political censorship for their opponents which aren’t allowed to post something similar. If you want to know what kind of regime the impunity will create, just look at modern Chechnya.

- gruez 6y agohttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/censorship https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/censorship >The use of state or group power to control freedom of expression or press, such as passing laws to prevent media from being published or propagated. I get the whole "private companies deleting racist content isn't violating the 1st amendment" meme that frequently gets brought up, but this is one step too far.
