Twitch will ban users for 'severe misconduct' that occurs away from its site

Has Biden not violated Facebook and Twitters TOS when he deliberately continues his messaging about the Georgia voting laws? If you spend 2 minutes reading the thing, you'll see his claims are false at best, and deliberate misinformation at worst.

Are we to just ban politics from these platforms wholesale?

Deliberate misinformation != incitement to violence. What part of that is so hard to understand?

Is lying against Twitter's TOS? If so, then you have a sensible point. But I kind of doubt that it is...

The spread of deliberate misinformation is banned on both Twitter and Facebook. Here's Facebooks[1]

    You may not use our Products to do or share anything:
        * That is unlawful, misleading, discriminatory or fraudulent.

Here's an entire section from Facebook regarding "False News"[2].

Joe Biden's rhetoric regarding the Georgia State voting laws is clearly 2-3 of those. Why has he not been banned yet?

And the incitement of violence thing has been debunked pretty clearly. If one guy at Twitter can decide something was inciteful just because that's their opinion - despite all evidence presented during Congressional Hearings, then we're far more lost than previously assumed.
