As much as you hate Trump, do you think this gives more reason for them to hate liberals?

And more importantly, do you agree this is an infringement of free speech?

At the current time, no, but I expect to see real debate going on with lawyers on the subject. There's some good arguments for and against this idea

i had to correct my post because twitter is not a private company, they are a public company, but any company can form it's own terms of use.

I don't think Twitter is the arbiter of truth, and it's an issue when people think they are.

You don't have freedom of expression on any platform. You agree to the rules of the platform when you make your account

Technically they are private. Private as in, they belong to the private sector, which means all commercial companies.

Public sector companies are government-held companies

Ignoring the fact that private companies aren't beholden to the 1A, even approaching this ideologically banning him is the correct thing to do. There are reasons why we protect free speech and they shouldn't apply to a president trying to install himself as a dictator.

Fuck social media bans, he should be in prison

Yes they are. They're publicly on the stock market. Which is what these dumbasses tend to mix up.

The people that shout the loudest usually know the least.

Proof is all the idiots that bitch when private platforms ban them or their favorite talking heads.

First Amendment doesn't force others to host your shit.

Yep. They would be in favor of businesses refusing to serve customers they don't like (hell there was the famous wedding cake controversy), but the minute it affects them suddenly they don't like it.

Nah fam. That shit ship sailed when judges ruled in favour of a bakery saying they weren't gonna bake a cake for a couple who celebrated a life-style the bakery didn't agree with.

Private business says get fucked, you get to take your papers and peddle 'em elsewhere.

1A

"Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech"

I'm not really seeing any interpretation of that which means Twitter can't ban people.
