Sadly yes, because people kept giving is platform power. Funny how they keep calling Trump the god emperor, when it's really Big Tech and Big Media. Just look at the comments on this post. No one is complaining about censorship; they're all claiming it should have been done sooner!

I bet no one one here has looked at one alternative news source for the past four year and eats everything CNN/MSNBC/FOX/NPR feeds them.

This is how the freedom to speak fails. I hope the big take away is that people start moving further and further away from these big platforms, and take their friends with them.

He is into Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome let him have fun. Also he thought that Google Plus was Carthage and Facebook was Roman Empire well it turned out it was kind of like that but only in Social Networking industry, Google is still Roman Empire of the internet.

He is the CEO of the company and gets to decide. You understand that facebook is a private company, right? Trump's 1A rights aren't being denied any more than Fox news is denying AOC her 1A rights by not giving her her own show.
