"Facebook is working "24/7" to tackle content including "stop the steal" from spreading across the network ahead of the US Inauguration Day." Nothing quite like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

It's interesting. These leaders certainly are responsible for allowing lies and propaganda to rally and enrage these people, priming them for a civil war, however is it better it happened all at once or if Trump deplatforming sooner giving them more time to better organize on a platform and all necessary layers that they'd control to allow the public inciting of violence? Perhaps if he was deplatformed earlier then more people may have turned out for voting and may have won the election? Who knows. What I do know though is they're still rallying and still being unreasonable and calling for violence, I'm sure they're learning to use private messages instead of posting statements of violence publicly, perhaps the largest platform they have now is thedonald.win - I go there daily to be shocked at the top headlines and comments.

  Seems to me like trump acknowledged his loss and was aiming towards a smooth and none violent transfer of power. De-platforming him was probably the worst thing to do in his supporters eyes.

    > was aiming towards a smooth and none violent transfer of power We've already crossed that bridge—this transition hasn't been smooth, and it hasn't been non-violent. It would be nice if he aimed for that, but maybe he should have done so before he shot and missed.

      So we should just throw up our hands in the air and start killing each other. I guess nothing else can be done. But hey, at least we can feel morally superior about ourselves, because they've started it, right?

        He already is banned from twitter. How did it help with anything? I don't know who do you think you're talking to, but no, violence is not "my solution" and I didn't have any "last time".

        Then what are you arguing for?
