Politicians have always been special. For reference, see human history. This is why government needs to be constructed with actual mechanisms to hold politicians to account and root out corruption. The kind of self-dealing and rules-for-thee shit that we used to take seriously. The media should be the last line of defense against corruption in politicians. Because we are seeing corruption in the open now is because those other government mechanisms are failing. I'm not sure I would classifying "deplatforming" them as a universally good way to hold politicians to account, but yeah, sure, platforms can shut you off when you are an endless fount of lies and propaganda.
