I’m ambivalent about the ban.
I know it's not about first amendment, I know that he lies, incites violence (& sedition), yet something about a corporation deciding what information is okay to disseminate doesn't sit right with me.
Don't shoot me. I'm happy and wary. Ambivalent.

I'm simultaneously pretty understanding of this particular case and extremely nervous about oligarchs making these decisions in general. It's also completely unknown if, principles aside, the effects will be positive

I dig it. But. There are laws about hate speech and violence. And "We have the right to refuse service to anyone" is something I grew up with. Also no shirts, no shoes no service.

Lots of us begged for this. The customers. Or the product, I forget which we are. We asked and asked. Twitter didn’t make an arbitrary decision.

Laws are used by those in power to maintain their power, and that scares me.

Counterpoint:
He can still disseminate information, just not freely and easily using on a corporation’s resources that go against the corporation’s interests.
He can buy a TV or Radio ad, send out letters, go do rallies he loves across the US.
He brought this on himself.
