That applies to Trump's response to the 2020 election too. He's a private citizen now, so his tweet equivalents and lawsuits don't matter

- krapp 5y agoYes. I actually don't agree with Youtube's policy here at all, or with continuing to deplatform Trump (as long as he follows the rules like everyone else.) I did agree with his initial banning, because of the damage he could do in a position of power in a critical moment of political transition. But his views are basically mainstream in the Republican Party now, Jan. 6 was a failure, Biden was elected and the promised rural uprising and reckoning didn't happen, so the damage is probably done. It's the false equivalence I'm objecting to. It seems clear to me that one side went off the deep end further than the other in this case.
