I addressed the point of your question directly by offering a plausible alternative explanation for what's going on here.

No, you wrote fanfiction about cartoon villains, without explaining at all why it's not even possible that this policy change could have come about through internal reconsideration of the merits of the ban within Meta. I don't know why you bothered, but it has nothing to do with my question.

What happened between 2016 and 2020 in the name of making sure people understood that supporting Trump would not be tolerated truly boggles the mind. For three years they used the FBI to threaten his family and jail his friends under an investigation into what we now know was a political campaign weapon falsified by the Clinton campaign. And the FBI knew that immediately as well. With Adam Schiff out there every day…

Yes. It was not his racist statements or his incompetence. It was what Adam Schiff did. For pete's sake, FBI literally handed him the 2016 election.

How many times did Bill Clinton go to Epstein's island? Are you OK with pedophiles?

> Those of us who don't work for Meta or Twitter will continue to keep a weather eye out for fascism and those who carry water for it.

What 'fascism' exactly? I don't think you know what that word means or even explain what that word is.

It's a coincidence this happened after the midterms. Totally not a political decision at all.

Trump-endorsed candidates underperformed in the midterms and in previous elections. Trump talking hurts the party. If anything, keeping him off the platforms until after the midterms helped Republicans.

They "underperformed" because his own party establishment thwarted the efforts of candidates he endorsed.

Is hating someone who tried to overthrow an election and seize power for himself radical now? Maybe this really is the worst timeline.

Hate requires energy, Biden, Fauci, Trump, XJP, Zelensky, Putin or whatever idiot is not worth my hate. So yes, if you have nothing better to do than hate person you never met in your life and who never personally did anything to you other than some intepretation spread by your favorite MSM, you are radical by my standards. I could understand someone who harmed you or your family, but hating some distant politician looks quite immature.

And the problem is not really even that these people hate him, they can have whatever opinion they want or even hate him, the problem is that they project their hate even here in what should be civil discussion forum on users with different opinion, so much for "democrats" who can't stand different opinion and downvote/censor any opposing views.

I used to share that opinion but as emails and DM's between three letter agencies and the social media platforms have been leaking it's harder to defend corporations. I will defer to Shoe for some details. [1]

Non-sequitur. We are talking about Trump
