You break the rules; you suffer the consequences. He incited a riot; he lost his platform. Banning him doesn't fix our country, sure, but social media platform

You break the rules; you suffer the consequences. He incited a riot; he lost his platform. Banning him doesn't fix our country, sure, but social media platforms enforcing a basic standard of conduct seems like a positive to me.

>He incited a riot I wasn't aware of that. Do you have a source?

  If only sealions could use Google :(

    I know how to use Google, but can't find a real source for that. Please share if you have any :)

        I know what I wrote. Was it a tweet or something? A video? I honestly can't find it. If it's so easy for you just link me to the source and stop behaving like a child.

        I'm stringing you along because I don't believe you are acting in good faith. You seriously didn't pay any attention to any news during the US election ratification process? You didn't pay any attention to the second impeachment of Trump that focused solely on this matter? You didn't listen to any of his speeches around the new year? You couldn't type "donald trump incite riot" into a search engine and sift through some of the 600,000+ results? Either you are very bad at Google and pay no attention to news, neither of which seems very likely given the website we're on, or you are sealioning. So, which is it?

        >Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. if I knew how to report comments on this site, I would even if I somewhat agree with this. I don't want this place becoming Reddit. With all due respect: I don't think it's productive on the internet (a worldwide mechanism) to assume everyone is American, and by extension in tune with American politics. Or heck, even a person constantly checking social media for news multiple times a day. Name calling while ignoring these factors doesn't make for civil discourse.

        Thanks johnnyanmac, I was going to reply to cmsj but it was not worth the effort. As you guessed correctly I am not from the US neither live there. It may be hard to believe for some "americans", but I wasn't following the latest US presidential election in detail, should I apologize for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯? Thanks for the linked article, the only I was getting on Google were stuff from sites like tabloids; me being diligent, wanted to find a more reliable source.

        fwiw I'm neither American, nor in the US either (or even on that entire continent). I apologise and retract my cynicism about your posts. They were consistent with a particular type of troll, but I didn't attempt to dig into that before being snarky with you.

        Glad I could help, I never want to punish curiosity (especially in an age where someone in the know can find a source in seconds). I don't like linking to Wikipedia, especially when asked about recent controversial events (where plenty of other biases and internal civil wars occur over that information). But it's a better (and frankly faster) gesture than assuming bad faith with a commenter. If I really wanted to be thorough, I'd at least skim through the listed sources and link what I felt was the most credible and impartial source.

I must have missed the "inciting a riot" trial. How long was the jury out?
