Some experts lamented that these steps have come too late, while the moves have also stoked questions about free speech and the political power concentrated in Silicon Valley.

the president's account last Friday. He had some 80 million followers prior to his suspension.

"Over the last several years, we have allowed President Trump to use our platform consistent with our own rules, at times removing content or labeling his posts when they violate our policies. We did this because we believe that the public has a right to the broadest possible access to political speech, even controversial speech.

Apple similarly told ABC News in a statement:"We have always supported diverse points of view being represented on the App Store, but there is no place on our platform for threats of violence and illegal activity.

He always want his army to be silence army, and Twitter was suspending him... I'm really tired of all this

Shut up. Talk all the shit you want, censor, resignation, impeach, put a million security we dont care, Trump memo was well recieved by the world, don't toy with president Trump or there will be hell to pay. Now America is running for cover and trumping up security lol.

You all should be scared. Twitter and Facebook are just like Stalin. Demanding silence. Watch out folks.

Those tyrant media giants were censoring Trump AND millions of other American citizens MONTHS before the riot. They actually intentionally bullied people, slapped warning labels on posts, INTENTIONALLY influencing the Election. Their CEOs should be fired. Twitter's too.

Crook, recist, and predator

it is PROPAGANDA. GOOGLE Joseph Goebbels and understand Rupert Murdoch is doing the same. Joseph Goebbels said, 'Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine'. Well, Rupert Murdoch has been making worms - masses of MAGAt worms. Its propaganda warfare, kids.

Too little, too late. They were the soup can & string for hydra

It seems that Republicans/Trump supporters now insist that tech companies must bake a cake for anyone who wants one.

THE VIDEO EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT!!JUST EXCUSE THE FIRST MINUTE. WE DON’T EDIT:)

With our First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech comes with it an intrinsic responsibility AND accountability. For the first time in his entire life . . . Donald J. Trump is being taught this very difficult lesson. Which is about damn time!

My vote was stolen, That’s right, but Joe Biden is a illegitimate president and will ways be!

This is actual fascism and you fuckwits are all applauding.

Has nothing to do with free speech. What about the cake bakery that wont sell to gays or the NFL kicking dude out for kneeling during the anthem?

The so called free speech has resulted to this madness

Stupid! Trump was a hard working president that wasn't corrupt and actually worked FOR the people. This country is in trouble. People need to wake up!

I have no questions..it should’ve happened long ago .

The 1st Amendment does not protect private businesses including big tech. Twitter, Facebook, etc. can suspend whoever they want without warning.

Free speech doesn’t apply on private platforms.

EXPLAINER: Can social media companies boot Trump? YesDonald Trump and his followers are objecting loudly after Twitter, Facebook and other social media outlets banned the outgoing president. But the companies are within their rights, since free speech protections don't often apply to the private sector. This is how the marketplace of ideas works Hitler and Stalin would be proud. Twitter should have banned trump earlier.
