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.
- nullc 4y agoThe 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.
