Current Events > As much people hate Trump, that twitter ban was really stupid IMO

(+) Yeah! (+)

It just suddenly gave immense firepower in the tank for both extreme and moderate right-wing groups to now lambast liberals for. FOX was actually turning on Trump until the twitter ban happened. Now they're back, 100% supporting Trump. Republican politicians everywhere are screaming out free speech suppression. The right-wing is united once more. And the divide from left-wing, even greater, once more.

Conservatives are all decrying the ban obviously. Yes, it's not against the 1st Amendment but I'm pretty sure we can all agree how it's a classic example of showing how powerful media giants are in censoring whatever they want for political agendas

luckily no one cares about your opinion.

Dems should have just left the Capitol storming as it is and focused all attacks on the event. It' was already making Republicans guilty AF and actually about to support the Dems.

The twitter ban just reversed the whole effect back to square zero

He was essentially inciting riots on Twitter. What would stop him from doing it again?

Conservatives always talk about wanting a free market. Well, the market has spoken.

He literally went on Twitter and told terrorist he loved them

Trump did backtrack and tell the supporters off in the end. Yeah, he instigated it but he wasn't trying to press with it. You can tell Trump also realized he screwed up in the last minute.

Should have let him dwell on that guilt all the way. Not worsen it further

freaking funny you are now supporting capitalism at the extreme of companies controlling voices of the media. I thought that's what dems were decrying about for years? But apparently if it goes according to their advantage, it's no longer a problem duh

It only took his tweets being deleted for him to figure it out. Not the deaths, not the violence, not the bombs, but his Twitter account.

Awful lot of assumptions there.

---

Nah, it was a pretty good idea, especially all the big companies stepping up their game against shit like that

---

"See what happens when you steal an election" is not exactly what I would call telling his supporters off.

---

It seems petty, but when you realize this is the biggest means of Trump communicating to the people he riles up it starts to make a lot more sense. This isn't just taking a toy from him to punish him, it takes a tool away from him. Imagine if he didn't tweet endlessly about the election being stolen from him, maybe less people show up to that mob? It's his biggest tool to communicate to there people. The good outweighs the bad.

We should have to tolerate Trump's hateful and seditious speech because if we don't it might encourage his extremist followers? The hell kind of stupid logic is this.

I think twitter could have done things slow. Give Trump a suspension first, then warn him he'll get banned if he continues spreading conspiracy crap and false information. Only then, then they ban him.

That way there's at least a defense to be made.

That's exactly what they did.

They suspended him for 12 hours first

I'm not supporting capitalism. Capitalism can suck my fat dong.

Twitter is a private company and they did the right thing for everybody by banning Trump. He's disruptive and honestly I'm surprised it took a fucking riot in the country's capitol to do so.

Literally all of your topics are heres why we should treat Trumpers with kids gloves and all of your topics are fucking stupid

---

Yes, people encouraging terrorist acts and supporting them after should be given the thumbs up.

Or such a stupid take can fuck right off.

---

JustMyOpinion posted...

Yeah, but clearly he should be given more warnings. It's just years of hate speech and sedition.

It's worked out perfectly fine here on gamefaqs.gamespot.com.

"Not a Trump supporter, but..."
---

A good chunk of Americans have no fucking clue what "free speech" actually means or entitles them to.

Uneducated as fuck.

If you think Trump didn't get exactly what he wanted from this, and believe that he is capable of feeling any form of guilt as a result, you are entirely naive. He's saving face on the outside and is a giddy child on the inside.

Corporate Dems have been decrying capitalism.

Yeah, its what the Republicans have been banking on for years. Its paying off massively. But it was also inevitable anyway.

fuck that. so much vitriol he spewed over the years in social media Not one shred of decency and professionalism. trump should have been banned from Twitter as soon as he got in office.

I think its pretty obvious that the millionaires and billionaires that run some of the most shady corporations in the world are not very liberal

---

ehhhhh he's caused enough trouble it's understandable to ban him.

Granted now the issue becomes where do you draw the line? The reality is that the internet most of us grew up with doesn't exist anymore, we're in a completely new era.

---

freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
---

Trump continued to incite insurrection on twitter, thus his banning was necessary in the interest of national security.

---

It is a good thing that the Republicans who supported Trump get punished tbh.

That doesn't mean all of them should go to jail, but everyone in Congress who voted to take the election away from Biden should lose any influence they have in Congress.

---

I think both sides of the issue can make a compelling argument, it'll be interesting to see what happens

---

Banning Trump from Twitter actually hit him where it hurts: in his ego. I don't think that clown has a single genuine shred of remorse or shame for what happened in the Capitol -- only disappointment that his gambit failed, and fury that he's been now denied the use of Twitter as a platform to incite further attempts. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if his next phase of attack was to drop heavy hints that it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Biden didn't live to see the end of his inauguration ceremony.

---

Trump literally inciting violence after a terrorist attack is not something worthy of keeping a platform to continue to do so.

Fuck off with this terrorist sympathy.

---

No one cares what conservatives think

---

I dont care about Trump or his cultists but I'm worried all these bans are gonna lead us down a road of big tech censorship.

This was going to happen no matter what, tc.

he's so used to being able to fire the people who would hold him accountable.

What a surprise, TC has no clue what he's talking about

It's classic trolling. He makes a decent sized post for people to think he is trying to have a discussion, he replies to posts for a few minutes to further this idea, then when it takes off he stops posting and gets off on people calling him an idiot or responding to anything he said.
