I agree with everything you're saying here, but it's just not related to the current situation. Twitter didn't ban Trump because they think it'll have a healing effect and resolve social divisions in American society; they banned him because they think he might incite his supporters to violently attack the inauguration ceremony on January 20th, as he incited them to attack Congress two days ago.

If that is the case why permanent ban? Why not 30 days...

I am also not a big fan of the "incitement" defense, it seems that is often a moving goal post depending the the political views of the person being accuses of incitement, it is also very subjective, I am not a fan of subjectivity in policy. Policy have to be objective.

To objective incitement, i.e a direct call to violence, should be ban-able, but subjective analysis on what "he really meant" or "how people took the words" is where I start to have problems
