> decentralized social network is build on Skynet

AKA email.

If Trump has been kicked off Twitter, there's nothing stopping him from providing an email newsletter where people can sign-up and recieve his crazy ramblings.

Seriously wondering why people don't do this. Perhaps I shouldn't be giving Trump any ideas?

Don't worry, his newsletter providers are deplatforming him too.[0]

Haha thanks for that.

Although there's nothing stopping him or anyone else running their own email provider.

Which is what is so great about email.

Until Gmail stops accepting mail from his domain.

Which happens to normal people all the time.

Yes that certainly does happen. Which is why I don't use Gmail :)

If the POTUS is not using Gmail, and I'm not either, at which point does Google get to block that?

With huge numbers of people following Trump off of Twitter, FB, et all, expect a huge hit to their stocks.
