No not really? 20 years ago the main line of communication was TV and the main channels were nationalized. Also wdym, its not automatically ok just cos of that.
I didn't word that very well, but I guess I have 2 points. First, the president of the US is not being silenced just because he can't post on social media. There are so many other ways for him to put out public statements. Secondly, privately owned platforms like Twitter have always been able to ban whoever they like, and I don't know why people are acting like that is a surprise.
You are right though, that doesn't automatically mean it's okay. I guess I'm just confused by the sudden consternation now that trump has been banned.
But that's always been the case?
