#4I don’t care what side your politics are. When corporations can so easily control the voice of the elected leader of a country (one who has genuine legitimate support or about half of the country), I become very scared for the future.
Corporations should not have more power than the elected officials.

#6Jack and Mark, have every right to kick Trump off their platforms, and maybe I would have done the same. I still don't like that its up to them to decide for us all.

There is nothing to prevent any politician from doing what was done before Twitter/FB - holding a press conference and inviting the press/TV. Or putting out public statements which are widely disseminated over news/pr wires.

Yes and anyone can make a website. I was referring to using the platform normal people use here.
