It was very weak, and in my opinion, is likely to have catastrophic consequences. They have - purposely, it seems - drawn battle lines for a further divided country. This will be seen by conservatives as a wholesale rejection of all conservative speech on the platform. They are going to abandon Twitter in favor of a clone that will welcome Trump. We will then have a conservative Twitter, and the existing liberal Twitter.
Without the important balance between left and right, it’s going to be a free for all on both sides, with each amping each other up to retreat further and further into extreme parts of their respective sides. Twitter just inserted a nuclear bomb into the already delicate fault lines between left and right.
