Edit to qualify “chilling”

“Twitter is private and can do what The Owner wants. But this sort of thing has a chilling effect, making people wonder if anything they say could get them suspended. It’s inconsistent with free speech.“
-PatRick Watson

8. Not unusual with the internet.

On some car forums I go to, they will ban you for posting a link to a competitor. They are smaller forums, but 2-300,000 members.

4. Why doesn't Biden pull the US government off of Twitter?

Obama should cancel too.

9. Who f**king cares? Just stop using it.

I mean really. It's not as if there aren't plausible alternatives to Twitter. Just as if there aren't plausible alternatives to Teslas. Stop feeding the muskrat. He's a born rich idiot who got even luckier during the dotcom boom. He then figured out how to leverage his wealth and channel his inner PT Barnum. No-one should support him, save for perhaps the most diehard incels.
