What is weirdest about this whole thing is that Trump remains one of the most speech empowered people in the world; he can get up at any point and have a press conference, he can plaster messages all over the whitehouse web page etc. So in that light whether or not any specific company chooses to give him even more speech rights -it seems completely discretionary and companies can and should decide what is in their business interests.
I'm also prompted to tell these politicians - well how about you support open platforms and mediums rather than buying into proprietary walled gardens in the first place? It's not like these things don't exist.

Thoughtful people understand that this incredible, unaccountable power to erase people from society is incredibly dangerous in a democracy, even if there are many, less intelligent people, who are okay with it because right now they perceive this awesome power as being used against their perceived political.
