Is that really the case with Facebook, Twitter, et al.? Didn't Facebook and Twitter have favorable standing with Trump's administration (vis a vis keeping Trump on the platform despite his violating their ToS repeatedly)?
- webXL 6y agoI have some doubts about this claim of Trump "violating their ToS repeatedly" I just google'd "trump tos violations list" and nothing like a clear list came up. That should be relatively easy, right? Especially after 1/6? Here's a search from before this year: https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+twitter+violations+%22list%22&&source=lnt&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_min%3A%2Ccd_max%3A1%2F1%2F2021&tbm= https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+twitter+violations+%22... "When the looting starts, the shooting starts" came to mind (you have to go to archive.org to view it, which is kinda sad in a way... are videos of the 3rd Reich next to go?): https://web.archive.org/web/20200701003329/https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-05-29/twitter-flags-trump-tweet-glorifying-violence-protests-minneapolis https://web.archive.org/web/20200701003329/https://www.latim... Can anyone come up with one?
