As has been said elsewhere, this is not about disagreeing with someone’s political views. This is about not amplifying a voice that incites a mob to attack congress and overturn an election.

And they aren’t even banning people for solely the latter! Representatives who continue to support the president have had no issues.

But when mainstream media published lies to support the Iraq War nobody was banned because to served the interests of the government. Or when Facebook was used as a platform for inciting etjinc violence in Burma. No, this is all about selective enforcement against people we do not like.

For the record I hate Trump and am a European Social Democrat.

Mainstream media didn't lie about the Iraq war, they were lied to about it.

Facebook is a US company with a lot more eyes on US activity than in Burma. They're going to see, understand, and react to events in the US much more easily than anywhere else in the world.

That isn't me condoning Facebook's activity here: they need to do a better job elsewhere in the world. What I'm saying is that their failure may be just that: a failure, not selective enforcement.

Did Twitter and FB's newsfeed exist when the NY Times was spreading their misinformation? (For context - were they promoting what they were told by the gov't, or were they caught lying on their own?)

So, only Congress is shielded from angry mobs by ToS, other, good mobs are ok and are allowed?

No, why would you make that leap?
