This is true.
The latest from Twitter, claiming that by Trump stating he will not attend the Biden inauguration, he is somehow insinuating that Biden is an illegitimate president and encouraging retaliation and therefore cause for a permanent ban is completely contrived to justify them doing what they wanted to do.
This is nothing more than pandering to those about to assume power. As we all know Twitter, Facebook, Google/YouTube have been summoned to the senate many times to testify over privacy and such issues. I am quite sure they are working hard to ensure the future administration is a bit more lenient.
We should be more worried over the thousands of other vocal conservatives and constitutionalists who have been deleted in the past 48 hours. This is silencing freedom of political choice.
EDIT: Downvotes shows that cancel culture is alive and well.
- lambda_obrien 6y agoNot really, you can still choose to have whatever views, you can walk into the town square and shout your views, you can pass out flyers, you can do a lot. You can still vote for whom you want, without telling everyone, you can run for office, you can start a petition, etc. The newspaper was never forced to print whether was sent in. A book publisher never had to publish a book they didn't want to, and a social media site isn't required to host your content. They're no political freedom being taken here.
- sanguy 6y agoPretty hard to have a voice during COVID times without social media?
- lambda_obrien 6y agoA few thousand people just had a big protest, I think it's easy enough. Also, covid-19 will end someday. The hot takes here are getting rediculous.
