I don't think so. I think Google, Twitter, and friends don't like Trump, so they go out of their way to ban him. I don't think they're wrong to dislike Trump, but I think the treatment has the opposite of the desired effect: banning Trump simply validates what he tells his supporters. There are more nuanced tools which big tech could use; this feels a bit blunt.
