Trump’s tweets and FB posts trivially violate the content policies of both platforms. Witness the dozens of times folks have written bots that verbatim repost his updates and get banned.

I appreciate that ceteris paribus the leaders of a social media company might be inclined to cut the president some slack, but when the world is tipsy-turvy enough to generate corporate boycotts at insane scale, maybe enforcing the same rules you and I play by on these platforms for the president is still a fairly measured response to contemplate?

Disclaimer: Worked at FB on both ads and content policy, spent time @jack a couple times and found him to be a good guy.
