As much as lefties wish it, Twitter will never do it. There are competitors and it would be a mistake to do so.

Now SFGATE is trying to make a case for Twitter to delete Trump's account. I like the idea of having the president and elected leaders speak through social media because it comes straight from the source, though i admit Trump has posted a lot of foolish things, but that is no reason to delete his account. Liberals need to grow up!

Twitter has a very strong case to delete Trump's account (TWTR) - SFGate.com
So, if SFGate allegedly speaks for all liberals I suppose we should take the idiocy on INFOwars to speak foe all Conservatives. Right?

Free speech has zero to do with Twitter, a non-government entity, banning or not banning an account.

Ah yes, because a few crazy people in Berkley and the SFGate represent tens of millions of democratic
voters. Do you hear yourself?!

And did a Trump supporter just tell liberals to grow up?! As if Trump doesn't act like a child on a daily basis?! Thanks for the laugh LOL!

IMO, "hate speech" most certainly IS "free speech".
Just because YOU don't like what is said, and YOU consider it "hateful", does not give YOU the right to shut anyone up.
I do not care what your political leanings are, you do not have the right to tell me what I can say or where I can say it. The First Amendment gives me (and you) the right to be homophobic, racist, bigoted, islamophobic, anti-democrat, anti-republican, etc. It also gives me (and you) the right to TALK about our opinions. Talk only, actions are not "speech"!

By that (il)logic, supporters must believe Trump a traitor as they believe he speaks the truth.

Unfortunately, Trump supporters think everything he says is truth.

But there's no law against being ignorant.
