      the platforms' default position on Trump has been to take very little action against the President for 3.99 years....then all move swiftly in concert with the ban-hammer at the eleventh hourhttps://twitter.com/jacknicas/status/1347705824651706369 …

      New: Google has suspended Parler from the Play Store until it better polices its app. Earlier today, Apple gave Parler an ultimatum to improve its moderation in 24 hours or face removal from App Store. (Corrects earlier tweet.)

      So they didn't anticipate this would happen and put a "let us see it before letting it go through" control put on the POTUS account? I'm not saying what they should have done, but not anticipating this would immediately happen is kinda weird.

          They banned the offending account, not the person.

          According to CNN, Trump himself is actually banned. Hence Twitter quickly deleting the obviously Trump dictated @POTUS tweets just now. Said they don't want to delete @POTUS or @whitehouse since they're Gov't, but will address as needed.

          everything seems to catch twitter by surprise. it's like it's nobody's job to sit and think for 20 minutes a day about what sorts of contingencies might come up and vague strategies of how to respond to those kinds of things.

          like "should we suspend both accounts associated with one person if we ban one of them" seems like such a no-duh thing to answer ahead of time.

          And obviously they’ll move to @WhiteHouse account next, do they have a plan?
