It's amusing that people are simultaneously complaining that tech companies are censoring the president of the US and "enforcing the supremacy of the state" at the same time.

True "deep state" conspiracy material. After four years of running the country, they are still underdogs.

It's too out in the open to call it a conspiracy. Amazon,Google, Amazon and Apple (twitter, facebook) are putting out press releases that say this is what they are doing.

They are enforcing the supremacy of the state for the next government. If he was going back as president these companies would not be making these press releases.

The president is not the government; he's one part of it. The insurrectionists were attacking the rest of it.

Very wrong, in my opinion. But I'm not sure that I want to completely remove the possibility of anyone organizing to do so in the future.

To be clear, I think insurrection is nearly always bad, but keeping some faint possibility around is not bad.
