Completely ridiculous. If a major corporation in concordance with other entities bans speech that does toe the party line - that is quite literally fascism and something straight out of 1984.

BLM and their like was burning down cities for months with support from these same corporates, and that is suddenly OK and not morally questionable because orange man bad? I'm not defending the Trumpers who stormed the capitol, but the double standards are extremely blatant.

I think companies who are operating in spaces that may be targeted for wrongthink (pornography, arms dealers, even crypto to an extent) should seriously consider contingency plans (avoid vendor/platform lock-in, have a backup progressive web app in case your app gets booted etc.) in the event the leftist/SJW/mainstream media mob targets them and kicks them off large platforms (including infrastructure - AWS/GCP/Azure is NOT safe).
