      Edward Snowden Retweeted Alex Kantrowitz

      Facebook officially silences the President of the United States. For better or worse, this will be remembered as a turning point in the battle for control over digital speech.https://twitter.com/Kantrowitz/status/1347209358531198979 …

      Edward Snowden added,

      BREAKING: Facebook blocks Trump from accessing his accounts indefinitely, per Zuckerberg. "We believe the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great." https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10112681480907401 … pic.twitter.com/IGmHkieG8L

      I know a lot of folks in the comments read this are like "YAAAAS," which, like—I get it. But imagine for a moment a world that exists for more than the next 13 days, and this becomes a milestone that will endure.

          Social Media != Free Speech, it's a company that should police the users who incite violence.

          Yeah what could possibly go wrong with three monolithic corporations being the predominant gatekeepers of our public discourse.

          I understand. However, he is dangerous. And he has the nuclear codes. One of his supporters DIED needlessly yesterday. This can’t continue.

          Except its not. If you look at the tweets its far from it. Hyberbole is strong on the Orwellian side.

          Shocking to be having to say this to Edward Snowden of all people - but social media has noooooothing to do with the principles of free speech. 🤦‍♂️

          It has everything to do with censorship. It makes sense to want to silence Trump's inciting of violence, but this sets a precedent for censoring the POTUS. Think beyond Trump to what implications this could have on digital communication in the future.

          Replying to @Snowden

          I'm ok with a milestone that permanently silences anyone who has tried to incite a rebellion against a democratically elected government. It's kind of a small club we're talking about, and I'd hope not many folks plan to join it.
