So both platforms are getting rid of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of accounts. They are using what happened at the capitol as an excuse to silence people. This is pretty nuts. While I don't agree with everyone's thoughts or opinions, I believe they have the right to them. The line is only crossed when they call for acts of violence which many of these people haven't done yet plenty who are on the "left" side of politics have and they are perfectly safe on these platforms.
I think it comes down to controlling what people know and believe. They want their truths out there and nothing else. Scary times. This might actually spark a civil war down the road. There are talks of banning people from banking, flights, and rights to earn a living simply for their political beliefs.
I don't know how far they will get before people snap. Scary times!
