Good job Twitter/Facebook.

They don’t care. What they want is a reaction, and they know if they can get one during the Biden administration, this type of censorship against dissenting voices will become permanent.

Democrats love censorship almost as much as they like banning guns, religion, and (as of late) social interaction.

It's like when they inundate every aspect of your life with how evil white men are and then when someone finally says they've had enough, they respond with "Oh yeah, white men have it so bad"

Yeah no kidding. The millions of Americans that were already distrustful of big tech and the political system are vindicated.

To be fair, 1A doesn't apply because these social media companies are the recipient of ridiculous government protection

I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

I figure Twitter will follow suit in the next day or two, to the adoration of progressives nation wide.

remove those Section 230 protections and you can kiss all user content sites like TD goodbye

The interesting thing to watch will be how many companies drop or refuse to do business with him after he's a civilian again.

You know the media is going to do everything they can to keep Trump in the news. Without him, they'll essentially go out of business.

You don't have to remove them entirely, just no longer let Twitter/Facebook operate under them because of how they choose to operate.

Does it really have to be all or nothing?

Why can't you make the case for specific websites to be covered or not?

the Section 230 protections give Twitter/Facebook the right to operate the way they do
