You both are. (well the OP and Kamala, anyhow). She at least can quote their own terms of service as a reason. I don't believe, in this case, they care about those terms because that particular user brings huge attention to their product and they are capitalists just like the rest of us.

The Media largely lies about Trump. Look at the Ukraine transcript. Their "interpretation" of the transcript was NOT spin, it was outright LIES about what Trump actually said. They bank on the low information types (Progressives) to not read the actual transcript.

Twitter is one of the few ways Trump can speak to the People without the Media lying about what he said.

This is the tactic of the New Democrats.

He could start his own service for that. Plenty of room in the executive budget process to move money around as we've seen.

And I read it and it's the most damning thing I've ever heard any president actually say. It's horrible and that you can spin, somehow, in your head that it's ok to push foreign governments into investigating your political rivals is horrible too.

Or completely make it up like Adam "collusion in plain sight" Schiff does.

Twitter should have that right.

Harris is still a tool.

Meh. At this point the social media companies need to be busted up like the monopolies of old and turned into public utilities.

Give them a taste of the other side of that left wing policy they push in all other respects.


[But also, I wouldn't be surprised if Twitter pays Donald Trump to stay on the platform. It's one of the few things that keep them relevant. ]

100% agreed ... with both.

Twitter can do what it wants but for a presidential candidate to be trying to interfere in the election ... well, isn’t that what the crazy left is saying Trump did?
