        Nah. It’s called terms of service and every group from back in the Usenet days had to determine where you draw the line. If you don’t want insurrectionist regardless of the person you have that right. No one should be forced to host/publish others speech.

        None of this is new. There is so much knowledge out there abt what you have to do I order to keep a healthy messaging platform going. Having clear guidelines and struck implementation of a ban hammer is required.https://www.dreamhost.com/blog/how-to-stop-internet-trolls/ …

        The full answer is also good. The fundamental point is that these decisions shouldn't be left to private companies.

        Yes, the US Government should be able to violate the Terms of Service of Social Media companies to engage in misinformation and propaganda campaigns that result in genuine harm and confusion.

        Trump engaged in misinformation and propaganda campaigns that resulted in harm and confusion long before he was banned and Twitter was fine with it.
