How could this possibly backfire?
They will be denied the release of speech. (I'm waiting for the cell phone companies to start denying phone service to GOP donors.)
How will they find their release?
Then again, maybe this will finally be the end of the Right...they will finally be denied a public voice, and not even allowed to communicate with each other on social media. Each person's right to access social media will be decided using a political test.
Pretty nice for a dictator like Trump to allow this to happen. Imagine if he tried to do this to the Left.

...they reported them to Apple et all and demanded that they be taken offline.
Similar to what they did at the march.
And yeah, it is a privilege and not a right.
Maxine Water and telling people to "get up in the face of Trump supporters" never was suspended. There is clearly a double standard and people are starting to get pissed. We are on a path for a very violent 2021 if things don't level off soon.
I balee that inciting a riot is a fair dividing line.
After 4 years of bringing us shame and dishonor, Trump brought us violence and anarchy that he has stoked since his 2016 campaign.
Trump gave permission for Hate, Divisiveness, and Distrust of Government and Democracy.
A dangerous chunk of of his 74 million voters are unhinged, QAnon, Conspiracy Theorists, and White Nationalists. Another chunk (many here) echo such nonsense.
America has to be smarter and be proactive in dismantling the radicalized "angry mass mob."
It wasn't too long ago where a US President could stroll the national mall at lunch time. Trump has ruined plenty. And shame will forever attach to his voters. Rightfully so.
Refusing to concede.
Convincing his legions of followers that the election was stolen. Lying and lying and lying.
Promoting bullshit conspiracies and insisting on nonsense lawsuits.
Pressuring election officials to overturn the results.
Encouraging violence to address the injustice he made up.
Now, refusing to talk to Pence. His most loyal follower.
You went after people for their political beliefs. You support it. You are far from the ideals of the true liberals or conservatives as you can be.
There is much more. He will go down in histories annals as among the worst of the worst.

Good.
No chance you would have said all that about the VP if she were white.
So, wear it proudly. Be a proud boy. There are plenty of you out there.
small business owners they really don't matter. At a time when the Government has crippled these businesses, Biden comes out swinging with "his commitment to ensuring direct relief reaches the small businesses that need help the most, with a focus on Black, Hispanic, Asian and Native American small business owners who need additional resources to reopen and rebuild," a transition spokesperson said.
Why make this about race? Why not just say he is looking to help small businesses across America? But he was taught by Osama that playing the race card is the only thing that matters. Conor and Chris are really big race card players and use "racism" and "white supremacist" quite often here.
It should be based on solely on need and many minority businesses will qualify legitimately.
Not a good way to start healing.
“Death to Israel” must only be a metaphor.

I most certainly doesn't mean anyone has to listen to you.
The 1st amendment doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences.
If you are banned from internet platforms, your free speech rights aren't being violated.
It's just those who have the platforms think you're fuckwad and are telling you to fuck-off."

they want" libertarian-types. Naturally, you'd be saying the same if liberals were targeted by the largest pipelines of information in current Western society, right?
Phonies. Absolute phonies.
Completely legal.
Who have they banned other than this vile creature, Orange? He invited and incited a riot. Perfectly legit to ban him from their platform.
I remember when R’s use to rail about the fairness doctrine on the airwaves.

Or, just blame your problems on everyone else. That’s what Trump does. He’s never at fault.
To everyone above the rank of idiot, it's quite clear what it foments, namely the stuff the censors claimed to be appalled at this week.
But, hey, leftists have always loved billionaire feudal lords manipulating what is shared in the public square, right?
And lying constantly.
Tough shit. Cry me a river.
That's why leftist loons spreading crackpot conspiracy theories are banned all the time, yes?
Biden's pick for HUD told people that the reason barber shops and beauty salons were opened is because those are the places black people go, thus it was another example of white people trying to kill black people. Uh, was she censored on the platforms? Banished?
BTW, she's another one of these sterling Cabinet picks I've heard so much about. On the plus side, she just might beat up Mayor Pete, which should warm our hearts some.
How long before words and phrases associated with Trump's tenure go down the memory hole, too?
The Right used to speak in terms of right and wrong...of good and bad...of absolutes...absolutes that came from religion, for example. I'm talking decades ago. Bush started to put an end to this.
Now, the Left speaks in terms of right and wrong...of absolutes that must be complied with. From their perspective, it is not a debate of equally viable left versus right positions in American politics. Instead, it is a debate of the correct left versus the less correct right. Why would you want to cross the aisle to compromise with someone who is a less-enlightened rube? That would be bad for everyone, even the rube. It is far better to impose your left-enlightened will upon them, for they (the Right) do not have a proper understanding of good and bad like the Left has. Only the Left really understands what "good" is now. So, it is actually in the best interests of the rubes that they be disenfranchised.
I'm sure the rubes will just accept this, or course.
