So now these precious snowflakes want Twitter to ban Donald Trump's account because they don't like him?

They will never learn will they.

Whoa, hold the keyboard. I thought all our lefty friends and antiTrumpers on here said tweeting wasn't presidential. Where was the hatred for Obama because of his tweeting? I don't really remember any on the scale of Trumpatweeter.

Being an idiot is actually pretty presidential lately. Tweeting it like a tween girl is pretty gay, though.

That would be very impressive considering their $13B market cap.

You obviously didn't read any of the thread either because nobody here is arguing otherwise. I don't get why people keep thinking this point is wonderfully insightful.

This place criticized it by and large. Not giving a shite about Twitter was a Republican staple 4 years ago.

Twitter doesn't want to go to war with Trump and his supporters. In fact, many liberals in the media, journalists especially, would undoubtedly turn on Twitter if it were to happen.

We've seen publications like Slate and Buzzfeed take twitter to task for banning people like Milo. Journalists hate censorship

Twitter exists to make money. They aren't going to censor Donald. His shite posting is money in their pockets.

Scare tactics. Twitter is still trying to sell the company.

They could but then they would be worth even less than they are now. The limiting of speech will allowed and perfectly legal is insane when it comes to the bottom line.

I bet they have some angry meetings at Twitter regarding Trump. He's gotta be great for business.

Twitter doesn't make money.

It is a failing medium.

It's owners and investors have been trying to sell for years.

It recently had a big potential sale fall through.

Banning the President of the United States would bring about substantial criticism and unwanted attention at a time when they are looking to unload the company. This would make the pool of potential buyers even smaller.

Twitter continues to lose money and no buyout is imminent.

Company eventually folds or is sold at a super cheap price to a company like LinkdIn or Salesforce, who blends it into their existing interfaces where the company is no longer recognizable, which causes the user base to migrate to newer, better alternatives.

All of this, or similar alternatives, could very well happen WITHOUT taking on Trump in a battle. Banning Trump could/would accelerate the process.
