I would not if this move was taken of the owners own volition. Like if they had initially decided last year to stop this, fine, they are the owners and can take measures necessary. I would disagree with their move but still watch. But this is clearly only in response to pressure put forth by the sitting president of the United States, in a move that comes dangerously close to literal government censorship. --- Moops?
