    Lol. I remember when Trump said he was going to ban it and everyone was like nooooo. This is so concerning for free speech. Now that it’s not Trump doing it, everyone says: Great, everyone should ban it.

      The motivations to van the app matter. Trump wanted to ban it to censure the “wokes”. Nepal bans it to prevent the spread of hate speach.

      Social media and mostly the mainstream ones became an issue for democracy. These private companies must moderate before publishing. We must take them to account for what is on their platforms. Social medias are responsible for what is on them at the same level as the people posting it. If they don’t want to comply, it’s a ban.
