Not being able to get attention is for Trump worse than death, so well done!

I want a Fincher movie about the discussions going on in the Twitter offices during Jan 6-8. Make it happen.

In the past, it was if you make homosexuality legal, it's a slippery slope to pedophilia and bestiality. Now it's if you ban a guy from Twitter for deliberately inciting violence in an attempt to overthrow the government and end democracy, it's a slippery slope until you ban anyone for merely stating their opinions, yadda, yadda, yadda. |

While I agree that Twitter banning Trump is a good thing, I do wish they had been able to wait until Jan 20th (or had done it weeks ago). The events in DC proved that impossible and with all the heat facing Trump right now from both sides of the aisle a Twitter ban just seems like the cherry on top.... but... and I say this knowing that Trump supporters would complain no matter the circumstances, but... those last two tweets were benign by Trump standards and I worry that that will give credence to narratives about Big Tech cracking down on "conservative" free speech. The nuance makes the decision reasonable (Trump is hardly the first to be banned for violating the policy), but anyone looking just at those two tweets is gonna be thinking "he was banned for THAT?" And that wouldn't be an unreasonable reaction. The tweets were benign.
Frankly I'm just glad he's gone, but I wish they had done it weeks ago after he consistently posted what, like over 1000+ inflammatory & flagged messages about the election being stolen. It almost feels anticlimactic that the tweet he finally gets banned for is a soft concession and an innocuous passing remark about the inauguration (which made me feel better when I saw it, because Trump belongs nowhere near that ceremony). Doesn't feel like the strongest position for Twitter.

Twitter refused to ban him for years so I don't think stating ones opinion had anything to do with it. I don't think Twitter will even go down the route in the future. Twitter banned because they believed that he would provoke another riot. |
