Facebook's oversight committee just announced that the platform can continue blocking Trump.
I'm normally not one for censorship, but if any one individual on the face of this planet deserves it, it's that scumbag. Good news.
I see what you did there.
Don't get me wrong, I totally see where you're coming from and normally I'd agree with you. Fuck, I ALMOST agree with you now. I've always been the kind of guy that thought that people should be able to say whatever they wanted, eve if I disagreed with it.
But when you get down to it, Facebook is a private company and the First Amendment, which just covers governmental censorship, does not apply to it. They're allowed to set their own standards when it comes to speech. They (and Twitter) have given Trump WAAAYYYY more leeway than the average user and he just kept pushing and pushing the boundaries. It's indisputable that he peddled tons of libel, misinformation, lies, and incited violence via these platforms, and I think more harm than good would have been done if they let him continue.
Hell, all this anti-Asian violence going on lately can be DIRECTLY contributed Trump. For that reason alone he should remain banned.
But again, I almost agree with you. It indeed sets a sketchy precedent, but in this instance I'm willing to let it slide since Trump is just the worst.
I don't. Like, did I miss something?

So what does everyone think about the CDC announcement last week that vaccinated people don't have to wear masks or socially distance when stats indicate that only 36 percent of the population has been inoculated?
I mean, of course we can trust all the fine, upstanding people in this country not to LIE about being vaccinated, right?
