Twitter’s decision to ban the president—all while Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei, China’s propaganda arm, Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, & many others use the platform to amplify hate & violence—is wrong & further reinforces the urgent need to reform Section 230 exemptions. (1/2)

Platforms should never pick winners & losers. And while this is yet another troubling example of Conservative censorship, we must be clear that silencing any legitimate political debate is not the answer as we seek a path forward in a world hungry for objectivity & truth. (2/2)

Oh for God's sake. You go into a bar and break the rules, you get kicked out by the owner. These are privately run platforms, the owners have the right to kick out anyone they want. Now that's freedom of choice and speech!

It's not "conservative censorship" unless conservatives condone and promote violence. You have neatly tied the two together; was that your desire or a freudian slip? Don't worry, we already know the truth: conservativism promotes violence as a means to an end. #BeBetter

It's not censorship. Also...ever hear of a place called the press briefing room. Nice little place in the White House. Trump has 24/7 access. He has not been silenced.

Inciting a riot and insurrection is not legitimate political debate. If you really think it is you should resign immediately. If not, stop gaslighting people.

Just imagine how many more people would be dead by now and how much closer the country would be to civil war if your boss had not been silenced.

So sad! You had an opportunity to lead. You had an opportunity to be reasonable and stand up for democracy. Instead, you're spewing GOP (or whatever you call yourselves now) talking points that are not rooted in objectivity & truth.

You thought the Russia hoax was a major production. The Biden presidency will test the limits of media creativity and our imagination.

Then stop lying , stop repeating lies and the world will never be hungry for truth 🤷‍♀️ Platforms don’t pick anything, it’s people like you that write propaganda and spread misinformation for your own gain. Objectivity & truth for the nation and its people are never the agenda !
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Nobody is picking winners and losers. If that were the case, you’d be gone since you are a total loser. They violated the rules of the private companies so they have to pay consequences. You know how many people get kicked off. Stop whining about Trump. He’s a big boy.
