There are quite a number of people on Parler promoting and quasi-coordinating literal assassinations.
This is a pretty good lesson on the parameters of 'free speech'.
If there is no moderation on a platform, people will use it to organize straight up murder.
So there 'must be a line' somewhere, and then it gets complicated from there.
(Edit: I don't mean necessarily a legal line on expression, rather, companies 'have to moderate' forums somehow.)
Also - a wrench in the logic - Twitter is still used by some 'very bad hombres' - Ayatollah Khomeini is still on Twitter and uses it to say some things considerably more outrageous and ostensibly violent than Trump ever has. So I feel that there's some hypocrisy here, Twitter could probably let go of him as well if they for their own reasoning believe that Trump has incited violence. I feel that we often use different standards for internal politics than we do for geopolitics (we often look the other way when people do stuff elsewhere) Twitter might want to reconsider.
