SOCIAL MEDIA & TRUMP
1/ Remember that social media got Trump elected.
Twitter decided to not be a vehicle for violent insurrection against elected government.
There is no possible evidence that can convince conspiracy weirdoes that the election, ANY election, isn't rigged.

2) Now one MUST wonder: what abt those on the left who also called for violent insurrection agst elected govmnt?
Perhaps there is something about right wing-racial supremacist weirdoes that is especially dangerous, or morally repelling compared to rebellion by race victims.

3) So the compromise is that Twitter MUST ethically ban some pple on the other side who violate similar rules threatening the democratic process.
And if the democratic process seems too flawed owing to lobbies working both sides, consider an active targeting of these lobbyists.

4) If Twitter is deemed to be a "utility", then they must never ban anybody. If Twitter is a private company they can ban anyone they want/curate the feeds as they detect dangerous fake news as w/Covid cranks.
The truth is complicated & the notion of "balance" is hard to gauge.
