Correct me if I'm wrong, but Twitter didn't shut down an elected president's account (@potus), they permanently banned this particular individual's personal account. But yeah, unchecked corporate power coming home to roost. Personally I believe Nazis should be gagged not given megaphones, but this can affect anyone. Personally, I think Twitter et al. are acting on advice of counsel, not wanting to be considered an accessory to insurrection. It's telling that despite being called out on their hypocrisy (allowing trump to incite violence for years), the bans come now, after the balance of power in the US shifted to DEM. |

That's wrong. They shutdown the ability to post on @potus and deleted tweets[0].
