Good riddance. Let them tweet in their own bubble. No one else is interested.

They shut down "pro-trump" accounts because they violated Twitter's rules.

They won't kick trump off their platform, but at least they're putting a warning on all his tweets that advocate violence and spread misinformation. trump will never leave Twitter. He loves them too much to quit them.

What sounds more like a bubble? A platform that bans a particular ideology, or one that allows all ideologies to share their ideas?

Absolutely rich, considering.......:



Twitter users are younger, more likely to identify as Democrats, more highly educated and have higher incomes than U.S. adults overall. Twitter users also differ from the broader population on some key social issues. For instance, Twitter users are somewhat more likely to say that immigrants strengthen rather than weaken the country and to see evidence of racial and gender-based inequalities in society.

ROFL—Talk about “rich.” Why leave out the most pertinent info from the link you posted which says:

“U.S. adult Twitter users are younger and more likely to be Democrats than the general public. Most users rarely tweet, but the most prolific 10% create 80% of tweets from adult U.S. users”

Well yes, I guess that fact also does reinforce the idea that it is actually TWITTER which is an echo chamber.... in which 10% of users craft the narrative for the rest of the audience, who happen to share the same demographic profile.
