(38,817 posts)At a bare minimum, they need to lock all of his election fraud tweets so that they cannot be retweeted or liked. (They did that with at least one tweet he made before the election - related to COVID, I think.)

(20,868 posts)of political trolling here in Ireland where Sinn Fein supporters and others on the far left have long since used this tactic to shit all over opposition party Facebook pages.

(10,893 posts)gotten his Twitter taken away long ago, but they gave the BS reason that they didn't because his tweets were "newsworthy". After January 20th, it'll be interesting to see if they finally give him the ban hammer.
