No one inciting violence is a company's ally, unless that company sells guns, ammo, etc.

Twitter, same as every other corporate entity, benefited from Trump's tax cuts. They went years without silencing him, despite cries that his posts were dangerous. They -wanted- to keep him on their platform; he kept millions engaged with it. They even created 'world leader' exceptions -just so they wouldn't have to apply their own terms of service against him-.

It is disgusting how people act like this is bias against Trump/the GOP, when it's so obvious that the bias flows the other way, and it took an actual armed invasion of the US Capitol for these companies to finally step up and do something.



Armed invasion? It was meeker than peaceful protests from the last summer! Not even one building was burned! That shaman guy blessing everyone in capitol chamber (including guards!) was an extreme threat to the society, right.

It is unfortunate how personal biases stop you from understanding the danger to society from unchecked 'private companies'. Trump haters are ok with it so long as Twitter and Facebook silence him but too shallow to imagine that one day they'll silence the politician they support.


Meeker....? 4 people died. You are insane if you can look at the footage of that riot and equate it with "meeker" ... do you mean "they weren't black" ?


3 were from heart attacks and related complications. They were not killed by the riots.

The 4rth was shot in the chest by secret service, and the 5th was the police officer that later died of injuries.
