Trump has been permanently banned by Twitter. While the ban was praised and many congratulated Twitter for finally taking action against Trump's speech especially Joe Biden who has said he wants companies like Facebook and Twitter to do more to take down hate speech, fake news and wants to repeal Section 230, a law protecting social media companies from being sued for the things people post. There is also others who disagree. German leader Angela Merkel who said the ban was problematic and the President of Mexico who said that he doesn't like anybody being censored. Others have also called out Twitter for being bias against Trump and not banning people like the Iran Prime Minister who defends executing gay people in Iran and a few others as well. Many others fear that this allows corporations and people with power to abuse this as they want social media to be treated as "publishers", rather than platforms meaning much more regulation as in what kind of speech is allowed and that would allow “fake news,” which risks being selectively used as a political tool against political opponents. There also others who are critical of Twitter for the rampant toxicity on the platform. What do you think? Do you agree with Twitter banning Trump or do you think this will effect debates and conversations on social media?

P. s please try to be civil in the comments below.

It's one thing to not like a politician or government official. It's another when you come after his/her family.

To make it clear I’m taking about RIOTS not peaceful protesting. I know that’s a night and day difference.

I’m a moderate conservative and I am completely disgusted with what happened at Capitol Hill two days ago. I texted one of my far leftist friends and told her immediately I don’t stand for that crap. Not for a second.

However the worst part is now I’m even more uncomfortable and tense about how liberals are going to discriminate against people with differing political views. I voluntarily shut down my old FB account 6 months ago because I’m paranoid anything I’ve said (even 10 years ago) can be used against me in the workplace. Especially if I’m looking for a new job. I have never in my life been part of any radical organization, used racial slurs or even protested. But even just disagreeing with the prevailing leftist views gets you marked as a pariah nowadays. Liberals keep saying “this is the fault of Donald Trump and ANYONE who voted for him”. The latter part of of that statement makes me want to vomit. I never blamed the Ferguson and Baltimore riots on anyone who voted for Obama.
