This takes it a step closer, and certainly invokes that fear.

- AYBABTME 6y agoThey would have done it sooner if it was politically motivated, as opposed to being in reaction to breach of their ToS.
- camhart 6y agoI disagree. Earlier would mean Republicans have more time to enforce consequences. With looming antitrust cases with many big tech companies, this could be construed as a pledge of loyalty.
- AYBABTME 6y agoInteresting point I hadn't considered, but in the face of it, Occam's razor makes me more inclined to believe this isn't a cross-Big Tech conspiracy and more in reaction to the bad press following the Capitol events.
- koolba 6y agoI’d argue it’s both. They’re acting in concert and not letting a good crisis go to waste.
- sumedh 6y agoOr they wanted to do it sooner but they were afraid that Trump might get angry and come after them like what he did to Tic Tok?
- pmiller2 6y agoYou should be afraid of supporting fascists.
- skynet-9000 6y agoAre you saying all Republicans are fascists?
- pmiller2 6y agoThe GOP most certainly supported a fascist for the past 4 years.
- enw 6y agoI'm surprised seeing these sort of comments on HN. Implying Republican == fascist is the exact type of thinking this world doesn't need, and prevents any kind of nuanced discussion.
- pmiller2 6y agoI never said that. I said if you support fascists, you should be afraid. Mitt Romney didn't support fascism. He's a Republican, last I checked. Got any more words you'd like to stuff in my mouth?
