Shouldn't have been banned in the first place.

Why not?

I'm not aware there was anything that warranted the ban. What do you think?

As I understand it, the breaking point was this:
[Mr Trump eventually posted a video on Facebook and Instagram urging his supporters to leave the Capitol and go home.
But infamously Mr Trump also took the opportunity to tell them: “We love you, you’re very special.”](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/why-donald-trump-banned-facebook-b1859976.html)
They were already bending the rules for Trump during his presidency, but this was too far for them.

Still don't see anything that warranted the ban.

He broke the rules. What else would need to happen?

First of, fuck Trump. Second, I don't think this qualifies as rules being broken, more like media pressuring social media sites to ban him. That's been proven with Twitter files. 3rd, you want a president to have a voice on social media so people can see what they think out in the open. You can criticize them but silencing is wrong IMO.

You’re wrong IMO. Trump used his platform to incite hate and violence. That broke the terms of service for theses social media companies. It’s not complicated at all he definitely deserved the ban.

> Trump used his platform to incite hate and violence
Except he didn't

Lol what shit show you’ve been watching for the last 8ish years then?
-Venser- t1_j5ybl3i wrote
Where exactly has he incited violence?
Jshan91 t1_j5ybsxy wrote
You’re the only one claiming he was punished for something he didn’t do. You have to provide the evidence. my evidence is well documented and you know it.
-Venser- t1_j5ycala wrote
You didn't provide any evidence either but I'm not invested into defending Trump of all people on reddit lmao. Have better things to do.

Oh you sure are spending some time trying to defend trump then lmao

You haven’t provide any sources.. OP commenter has
Jshan91 t1_j5ykk3r wrote
No he hasn’t and I shouldn’t have to dig up common knowledge for you I’m not your Google bitch
NotSoMrNiceGuy t1_j5yzlx8 wrote
Per this logic, your point is as invalid as mine until you provide sources.
LMAO

lmao Redditors love to playing the “do your own research” card. They fail to acknowledge the point of debate is compare sources of information
NotSoMrNiceGuy t1_j5yk4n5 wrote
lmao, did you really just play the “I have evidence, I just won’t share it card”
Reddit argument etiquette 101. Good luck having anybody take you seriously
Jshan91 t1_j5ykfj6 wrote
Dude are you telling me you’re clueless as to why trump got banned. As if Twitter and every single platform didn’t give a well documented reason when they did? I shouldn’t have to dig up the sources for you it’s common knowledge. This guy is making a claim with literally zero proof besides whataboutism

Free speech does not mean that private companies are unable to regulate what is a said on their platforms, or who can say it. That’s why every media company has you agree to the terms of service before you are allowed to sign up.

The "Twitter Files" proved nothing meaningful, but go off!
