Folks referring to Trump's deplatforming as censorship need to look at the bigger picture. This is not a question of Big Tech adjudicating on people's views. Trump has actively been using these platforms to spread misinformation about the US elections and thwart the democratic process, and his far right supports used them to organise an enact a violent riot, which they could well repeat on Inauguration Day.
Trump has been voted out of office, in the next couple of weeks he will no longer be President of the United States. To allow this shit-show assault on democracy to continue would be irresponsible of Big Tech and could cost lives, and they do have a right to act in regards to what they believe to be responsible. Time to turn off the taps.

I get that. I just think it's dumb to fume about. It's not like they silenced him. He dominates the news cycle.

Yea I don't see why he doesn't just do that

I personally have no issue with them banning Trump. Far as I'm concerned, he's a shit-tier Human being that can't help but stir the pot.
My issue is that this even news, which is indicative of social media having far too much influence and impact on society and the news in general.

I can relate to Trump.
I know how it feels when "Mods" allow and support LIES said about you.
Sue Them TRUMP! SUE THEM HARD!
[/B]
Oh, his ego is way bigger than that. I think I saw that he wants to start his own platform.. haha..
Dear god, I hate to be right like this, but it does feel kind of good to be able to say, "I told you so." Trump seemed harmless to many until an actual armed insurrection was attempted as a result of his incessant lies. It took an actual violent attack on the government for many to wake up and smell the fascism.
I'm still surprised they didn't light the building on fire. There was video of them chanting for Pence to be hung, something like that.

so basically we should keep the parameters the same so that the president can continue to incite murdering our legislators, exactly what happened on the 6th. wow great final solution. 馃憞
If it needs to be said, I'm joking.
-ish.
I kind of do really feel our Democrat and Republican coalition are full of, shall we say, "crooks". Not bad enough to spark our own version of the "Arab Spring". But "maybe" enough to create a similar thing to what happened in Puerto Rico, when leaks came out that were so offensive the people said "ENOUGH" and ousted them all.
