How so? A sitting United States president was mass banned a few days apart by Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Apple, etc. Hell, even Shopify, a Canadian company joined in the fun.

There is a difference in perspective here. Being a sitting president didn't excuse him from breaking their codes of conduct.

A person who broke their codes of conduct, who also happened to be a sitting president, was mass banned.

He had just attempted to usurp the presidency of the United States, this wasn't censorship run amok

Are you suggesting that important people should not be subject to the same rules as the rest of us?
