> The process by which Trump was pushed off is concerning. Trump tried to destroy our democracy. I’m not being hyperbolic. The evidence is all there and all from Trump’s mouth.

and hopefully he'll get prosecuted for it if it is really the case, but that didn't stop even european leaders from saying the ban was a mistake and concerning[0].

  Your link doesn’t make any sense. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksverhetzung https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volksverhetzung Germany has laws against incitement. > 2] "incitement of popular hatred", "incitement of the masses", or "instigation of the people", is a concept in German criminal law that refers to incitement to hatred against segments of the population and refers to calls for violent or arbitrary measures against them, including assaults against the human dignity of others by insulting, maliciously maligning, or defaming segments of the population.

    I fail to see how having a law against incitement in germany - that doesn't even sound like would apply to jan 6th if it was done there- makes the article of merkel and several other EU leaders condemning twitter's action not make any sense.

      It appears Merkel did not intervene in this case of incitement to violence. https://www-welt-de.translate.goog/vermischtes/article231416727/Hetze-auf-Facebook-gegen-Angela-Merkel-Bewaehrungsstrafe-fuer-40-Jaehrigen.html?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://www-welt-de.translate.goog/vermischtes/article231416...

False, you are most definitely being hyperbolic.

Destroying democracy isn’t against Twitters rules. The Taliban destroyed a democracy. They have Twitter accounts. The leader of Egypt destroyed a democracy. He has a Twitter account. The leaders of Myanmar don’t seem to have Twitter accounts, but they outlawed Twitter. I doubt these people have supporters inside Twitter, but I doubt there’s any Resistance either.

  I could have worded it better.
