He deleted his account for the reason stated in the top comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25672752 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25672752) about Facebook is changing their policies, now that Biden has been confirmed as president to suck up for the ad deals.

Probably not because of the ban. Probably for Facebook's relentless facilitation of the person who incited treason and sedition, as well as the cultivation of conspiracy theory groups that produced the insurrectionists.

This spin leaves me incredulous. How does Trump inviting a protest equate to "inciting treason and sedition"? Y'all are bonkers.

  He specifically ordered Pence to throw out the Electoral College result. Pence refused on constitutional grounds. How is that not an attempt at sedition? Never thought I'd have anything nice to say about Pence but pushing back was the right thing to do here. H/T to him To say nothing to his tacit approval of a mob storming the capitol on EC certification day...

    The reality is that we just don't know what happened. We cannot know what happened. Perhaps some nations and companies are just too big and too powerful to exist and people are now starting to realize that.

      We know that Trump asked Pence to disregard EC results. I don't understand how that could possibly be under dispute in good faith Further, peoples' social media accounts show that a mob stormed the capitol with minimal police resistance. It is very clear what happened here.

You're really off base. You, and CNN, and others are throwing around words like treason, sedition, insurrection, terrorist. You are not talking about a few thousand people. You are talking about tens of millions of people. You are instigating hate. I know you don't understand the scale of what you're dealing with. But if you keep up the words things are only going to get worse over the next six months. And you are going to wake up after six months of uni-party rule and they are going to do some things you don't like. Conveniently you are going to forget your instigation and words you spoke but no one will be there for you.
