Trump is a Florida resident. Under Florida law Trump could sue Facebook. Hmmm......

What right does Facebook or other websites have to ban, prohibit or suspend people from its website?

They're violating Section 230 and have become a content provider instead of a service provider. They're also guilty of illegal campaign contributions-in-kind. They need to be charged, fined, and stripped of their Section 230 liability waiver.

shutting him out of the 2024 primary?

2021 + 2 = 2023

Early 2023

The primary campaign wouldn't really even start until probably mid-2023, and not really get going until late 2023.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict Facebook won't be around in 2 yrs...Maybe less.

Months ago I predicted Fauci would be the next Avenatti. He's on his way now.

I think the same is true for Facebook and Twitter.

What is so special about 2 yrs? 2 yrs from now he'll be in the middle of an all push for President or strong political power and they don't want to miss out on that action.

Not like Congress is any hurry to do that :-(

I'm old enough to remember when the Phone Company was a Monopoly until the Government took notice.

These Leftist Tech Giants certainly seem to be a modern day equivalent.

I believe it might be because of the new Florida law that will fine social media companies for banning political candidates. They want to shut him up for as long as possible but as soon as he runs they’ll be in violation.

...just a guess but seems reasonable.

“whatโ€™s magic about two years?”

It takes the ban past the 2022 elections.

What good would that do? The moment such an account got any attention, it would be gone.

The original suspension was for six months while they tried to figure out what to do. Apparently they’ve made their decision.

What ever happened to the social network Team Trump was supposed to start?

The other option I had heard was teaming up with clouthub.

Republicans like to make their enemies rich.

Some of us prefer to stay where the fight is, instead of running to other platforms and preaching to the choir like cowards. When I need to preach to the choir, I come here and unload. Otherwise, you'll find me deep in the fight at Facebook.
