It’s not dumb! I totally agree with you, and I think hate speech / speech inciting violence has good reasons to be stopped.
I think more than anything it’s a symptom of the capitalist hellscape that this censoring of the literal president came from a private company, not democrats or republicans. A lot of people are saying “womp it’s just Twitter who cares” but it was his most used comms method, and he’s effectively shut up since.
So I generally do support the ban, but I don’t support the libertarian/fash techlords that did it.
Yeah you're totally right. I think everyone arguing against you is making good points, but at the core of the issue it is SCARY that a private company with zero accountability can censor an elected leader.
Yes he's a bad president, but this sets a bad precedent.
