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)

YOUR President incites a riot where innocent people were killed and you are worried about Twitter. Senator Scott, I suggest you reevaluate your priorities.

I could have been a #Libertarian until silk road brought us murder for hire. Free speech was great until it consisted of people in power incessantly lying to get their way. #Fascism

It’s obvious that the Senator missed the message. There is no legitimate political debate in hate speech, deliberate and calculated lies or urging people to do what is wrong.

Let's be clear on this Twitter didn't pick a winner or loser. Trump decided to mastermind an attack on the capitol. He held leaders of the nation hostage to turn over a duly won election to him. Biden won. He Lost. It is not about censorship-if was-he should have off years ago.

Also it’s a private company the president has the bully pulpit to incite his followers.
