> The fact Twitter was able to get away with kicking off a US President without any ramifications is frightening. Your stance is the government should be able

  Honestly, Twitter kicking off a sitting President was one of the biggest wins for free speech in a long time. I don't know how people don't see that. This kind of public rebuke of the government will _literally_ get you killed in some countries countries. In many more it will get you disappeared at the very least.

    The thing to complain about twitter is that they didn't kick him off years before while nuking accounts that were far less abusive, but waited until he was a lame duck president. One could read that history as severely undermining your point-- that they were afraid of him until he was on his way out. But I don't think that's true: rather they kept him on because his popularity and toxicity brought a ton of revenue to them, and punted him when they finally expected him to be less profitable in the future.
