I wish I could say I told you so to them when the inevitable outcome of all of this is that we are run by the CCP. Too bad they shoot you if you speak out against them so I won't be able to.I wonder how many of them have even heard of Tiananmen Square. I am guessing it's a low number, Bob.

And Trump was banned not for being a conservative but for continually lying.

Name a conservative -- they have not been banned.

Yes QAnon banned, Russian bots banned....that's facism?
I don't have a problem with Trump getting temp banned.. But banning him permanently was a strategic move by Twitter. They've been waiting to ban him when he steps out of office.

There are plenty of people that should be perma banned on the leftist side and not banned because Twitter is ran by leftists.

You can't have a bias group of people be judge and jury at the same time.

I don't really give a damn about Twitter but just like Starbucks or any establishment they can't treat people with bias and violate people's freedom of speech using their bias.

Honest? Ha ha ha... That won't happen.

It's funny to watch people find out that they don't own social media and that they signed a TOS.

Violate the TOS and you get banned. It's that simple.

It is not you the Social Network it is WE THE PEOPLE...

Twitter is at the wrong here because when you post anything on Twitter it is just like a personal text message directly to someone. Except on Twitter you send message to people that follow you. So your first amendment rights should be upheld here because you AREN'T sending some kind of public message unless people follow you or search up your message.

Trump or anyone posting lies on Twitter is not the same as sending a lie on a public website or public message on TV or Radio.

We have a country where the Robocalls spamming scams and the government doesn't stop yet Trump or anyone sending lies or hate messages we stop right away!!

Twitter doesn't stop all the scams and fake news on their site but they keep a watch on people they disagree with and act on banning those they want to take down.

Because they knew back in 2016 they were more fair back then and allowed Trump to use their platform. Twitter fortunately isn't the internet, there are tons of alternatives.

I don't have a Twitter account, never have.

But does the TOS say that they can and will enforce it arbitrarily, letting people they agree with slide when they violate it on a daily basis and banning others they disagree with??

Name a person on the left.

I know folks left and right that have been suspended. It is always not about what they said but how they said it.
