On the one hand, it’s great news that @Twitter has decided to suspend Trump’s account.

On the other hand, it’s probably not a great system if two billionaires can unilaterally decide whether political actors can reach the masses.

There is no question: @twitter should have suspended Trump’s account years ago.

But, it’s a dangerous example of tech oligarchs control that @Jack and Mark Zuckerberg have so much power over our public debate.

Facebook and Twitter are way, way too powerful. They are quasi-public utilities that are not regulated as such.

It’s a dangerous system to have oligarchs who aren’t accountable to anyone make these decisions without popular control.

The statement by @twitter is good. (But that doesn’t change the fact that they’re too powerful!) https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html
