So what would you suggest? Allow users to incite riots and violence on all platforms?

Ultimately free speech means nothing if the legislature can be stormed with the intent of kidnapping/murdering members of the process.

Twitter was an essential part in allowing the storming of the capital to happen. Without their signal boosting, none of this would have happened.

They do not become the hero because they got ban happy after the fact.
