> You shouldn't have violated their TOS.
Since their TOS are vague, and they enforce it very discriminatory, deplatforming is obviously not about "violating TOS".
> The point is there are very, very few people who have their voices heard.
I agree wholeheartedly. My point isn't that everybody on Twitter automatically reaches everybody else on Twitter. It's that he has the chance. If you tweet something that everybody loves, you can go viral. If you're banned, you can't.
Everybody can run for office, but not everybody can win. If you block people from running in the first place, you better have some damn good reasons, and they better not be "I don't like their political opinions".
