      For conservatives, the idea that Twitter is waging some covert ideological crusade to silence them is comforting in its simplicity. But tech companies want conservatives' business just as much as anybody's. Having a persecution complex does nothing to identify the actual problem

      I don't have an easy tweet-sized answer for what "the actual problem" is, but a Big Mean Liberal Conspiracy To Punish Conservatives is not the problem. These companies need genuine oversight and checks -- getting mired in familiar victimhood tropes won't serve that purpose

          1) I agree, but is it too much to ask to have some clarity to the rules and a clear explanation why someone is suspended? It all seems so subjective. Also the double standard: Oh, Twitter's a private company, they don't have to answer to that yet—FB is somehow responsible....

          2) Yet FB is somehow totally responsible by running 80K in ads from Russians for Hillary's loss and destroying our whole democracy. I'm mean look I'm on the right but it just seems like there is such a double standard on the left. It's annoying.

          And Trump has the power to LEAVE the platform in a grandiose way and take his supporters WITH HIM. I wouldn't bet against it.

          If you mean he's found an effective communication medium to shield himself from serious media criticism that'd be a fair assessment...
