They didn’t ban him for anything he wrote. They banned him for the speech at the January 6 rally where he said protest PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY. People came to the rally on January 6 to protest peacefully. And that is their constitutional right. There was no reason to ban Trump. The New Twitter has revealed that Donald Trump was permanently banned despite not violating ANY Twitter rules; that the execs, especially Roth and Gadde, were looking for reasons to ban him for a long time.

I agree that the reasons for banning weren't genuine. But that doesn't mean Trump couldn't have avoided the ban if he'd spoken more carefully. I don't agree that it's tech platforms' constitutional right to remove politicians, though. The First Amendment guarantees free speech, and with obvious exceptions such as threats and libel, written content should be allowed freely on tech platforms that act as a public square.

They banned a sitting President becaue they knew that’s how he effectively reported to the American people. Becuae they had nothing they could ban him for on their platforms and they were trying to come up with something for a long time so they used his perfect speech at January 6 for a reason. Facebook believes in censorship. They believe in promoting lies. They believe in using 3rd parties to put the Scarlet Letter on your forehead, treat you like you’re a third grader. Mark Levin was censored and shadowbanned and everything he wrote was from a LEGITIMATE source. So it doesn’t matter how “careful” you are. They are agreeing to let Trump back on now because the Republicans are in control and they will be investigating along with both the FEC and FTC are going to be investigating Facebook and Zuckerberg in its extensive censorship in support of Biden and Democrat Party.

These are his last two posts:

I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!

You blame Trump and say he should be more careful. Stop with your lies or educate yourself. That has nothing to do with it.
