Actually what happened is the president tried to hold a rally, and because it turned violent, Democrat-controlled BigTech used that as an excuse to purge their political adversaries from social media and even shut down social media websites they don't like.
It's absolutely sickening to see Democrats willingly giving up their free speech rights, just because they're angry with one man. You can't just shut down entire segments of the telecommunications infrastructure as a way to wage your political battles. That's a childish abuse of power, and everyone who isn't outraged by it should be ashamed of themselves and frankly grow up.

Democrats are always in favor of taking rights from others, until eventually they ultimately realize the mistake only once they want the rights back for themselves.
