Saying this is not open-mindedness or support for free speech.
The president and Parler both have acted as direct, unequivocal instruments of fomenting and directing violence, especially with racist and fascist nature.
Banning them from any platforms is in no way connected to free speech whatsoever. President Trump’s Twitter account and Free Speech are two completely disconnected, unrelated concepts.
It requires fascism-sympathizing and racism-sympathizing to even suggest otherwise.
At this point, anything of the vein like, “Banning Trump from Twitter is unfair censorship” or “Banning Parler from app stores is unfair censorship” is just hate speech disguised as if it’s an attempt to uphold freedom.
