I prefer to think of an america without all powerful politicians selling the people out to the highest bidder.

You are letting the fox in the hen house when you call for it to regulate

You people do realize that Twitter itself has actually established rules of service???? Harris is asking why they don't enforce their own rules. Pay special attention to abuse/harassment and hateful conduct which is Trump's speciality.

The Twitter Rules

Twitter's purpose is to serve the public conversation. Violence, harassment and other similar types of behavior discourage people from expressing themselves, and ultimately diminish the value of global public conversation. Our rules are to ensure all people can participate in the public conversation freely and safely.

Safety
Violence: You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence. Learn more about our violent threat and glorification of violence policies.

Terrorism/violent extremism: You may not threaten or promote terrorism or violent extremism. Learn more.

Child sexual exploitation: We have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation on Twitter. Learn more.

Abuse/harassment: You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. This includes wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm. Learn more.

Hateful conduct: You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Learn more.

Suicide or self-harm: You may not promote or encourage suicide or self-harm. Learn more.

Sensitive media, including graphic violence and adult content: You may not post media that is excessively gory or share violent or adult content within live video or in profile or header images. Media depicting sexual violence and/or assault is also not permitted. Learn more.

Illegal or certain regulated goods or services: You may not use our service for any unlawful purpose or in furtherance of illegal activities. This includes selling, buying, or facilitating transactions in illegal goods or services, as well as certain types of regulated goods or services. Learn more.

Well then maybe someone should sue them for violating terms of service?

Given the hateful venom she spews just walking around in public, I chuckle at the irony of her cancel comments.
I do recall Trump demanding people’s accounts to be terminated...as well as blocking those who disagreed with him. And let’s not forget his daily threats, insults etc. but yea...Kamala.

Maybe Twitter feels Trump hasn't broken any of their rules.

Isn't that an awful lot like making bakers sell cakes to gay guys?
Trump didn't call for civil war. He rightly pointed out that an action in which the defeated party overthrows the elected party is so extreme it could lead to a civil war.

I'm all for letting Trump talk and it has nothing to do with "Freedom of Speech" since it is a Private Platform and the President has many ways to get his message out. I support Trump talking because he tells on himself constantly.

But lets all be honest, Trump has broken Twitter's TOS many times. Most Americans would have been booted off Twitter by now. In fact some people were getting warnings early in his term by just Re-Tweeting what he already said. If I get a warning for literally re-tweeting his words, then he defiantly has broken TOS.

If Twitter kicked Trump off it would be justified. Again I don't want it to happen, he snitches on himself daily.

1. Half their traffic or more would evaporate if he took his messages to a different platform.

2. Do you really want to make the President mad if you are worried when they are talking breakups of large Tech companies?

3. He drives a lot of profit and advertising their way.

Trump is the best thing to ever happen to Twitter.

Twitter will NEVER cancel his account -- take that to the bank.
