Highly worrying, but I'm also convinced it will happen in EU soon, too. Let's hope USA remains the USA.. we need a champion for personal freedoms in the world.

Highly worrying, but I'm also convinced it will happen in EU soon, too. Let's hope USA remains the USA.. we need a champion for personal freedoms in the world. (Yes some platforms censored Trump and others and they are American and it's bad, but it was not mandated by the government. Let's hope that never happens.)
- NotEvil 5y agoI think platforms not government banning individual is better. Because that actually distribute poer. I rather have twitter block me and I can move or make a new account-ish then a government blocking and getting around that
- Ambolia 5y ago>"but it was not mandated by the government" That's not really true, if Twitter decided to ban Biden or a big DNC politician they would get obliterated by antitrust laws in weeks. They just were able to do it to Trump because it agreed with the consensus of current day power.
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoDidn’t it happen when Trump was President and had his hands on the exact same levers of power that Biden has now?
- _-david-_ 5y agoIt happened like a week before Biden became president. Even if Trump wanted to do something he wouldn't have had time.
