Twitter bans sitting President

[yesitsme]

Big Tech’s PURGE, censorship & abuse of power is absurd & profoundly dangerous.

If you agree w/ Tech’s current biases (Iran, good; Trump, bad), ask yourself, what happens when you disagree?

Why should a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires have a monopoly on political speech? https://t.co/ehgVYtHX7H

So now Democrats + Big Tech are openly:

- Shutting down a sitting president
- Stifling free speech
- Using McCarthy-like tactics targeting associates of the president
- “Purging” conservative accts
- Multi-industry coordination against a political class

Twitter is clearly no longer an open platform, rather a publisher. And should be liable for their content and open to suit.

Welcome to the new world order: The Parler app known for free speech has been removed from the Google Play Store on Friday. Apple gave Parler 24 hours to submit a detailed moderation plan.

�Ban conservatives�

According to Google one twitter follower is worth $2.50/month. So they just shut down a $2,640,000,000/year business with no recourse.

Incredible.

I can't imagine Telegram is banning Trump anytime soon, and they seem too big to throw off app stores. I wonder if that will be the next Trump platform.

There is likely to be a massive shift with Twitter (and many businesses) where conservatives and liberals patronize different companies.

$2500 sounds very high.

Serves them right, let them cannibalize their own business to advance management�s political bent. Shareholders should take their money elsewhere.

So now Twitter went from social media, to left leaning platform. Until now they acted as if they are neutral.
I hope it's all downhill from here for them.

I do not agree with this.
Not in technicalities/legalities whether it's a publisher or not. In the (sarcastic?) opinion as a whole.

See the update to my post.  Until now they acted as if they are neutral,  now it's straight out in the open
