I wish to remind everyone citing 1st Amendment that Jack Dorsey of the Twitter Party was not elected to Congress.

  Yep, it's a great loophole to the 1A. Just move all public squares to the internet where voices can be censored with impunity by private corporations. Bonus points if your particular tech platform favors one political party. That way you technically aren't violating 1A, but the party you are buddies with get to benefit from the same net result.

    If that platform mentions in its TOS that "We hereby reserve the right to rescind your access to the platform if you talk shit about our corporate overlords or favorite political party", then I have no problem with it. This is not the case today.

      The stated reason for banning Trump today was: he stated he wouldn't attend Biden's inauguration and that that was deemed "glorification of violence". How is that not completely arbitrary?
