This is spot on. I can’t believe Twitter and others banned Trump
based on vague claims of incitement, quoting attendance of a ceremonial inauguration ceremony as proof (https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspensio...), while numerous organizations associated with domestic crimes (antifa, “youth liberation front” or other anarchist networks, some BLM affiliates, etc) and international extremists (like the Taliban’s spokesperson) are allowed to operate freely on their platform. These are illiberal monopolies abusing their power for political gain, and they need to be broken up or regulated.
