technicalities get blown out of proportion. it is dumb that we rely on private corporations to enforce norms. it is dumb that we can't create a state-run social media platform that we control. it is dumb to pretend that social media is just a frivolous product and not the main home of public discourse.
however it is also dumb to ignore context, and dumb to fight context-ignorers (reactionaries, in this case) with "don't talk about anything except how trump being banned is good." yes it is extremely good, but... technicalities.
