I love how calm today has been on the news front. If Trump had still been on Twitter, there'd be a ton of crazy lies, accusations, and threats making headlines now. Instead of that inane nonsense, there is a much more sober (insofar as the circumstances allow) on today's proceedings. All the same though...
...I hate how this is due to Twitter's corporate decision. Some arguments can be had about the appropriateness of Twitter's action. For example, Trump did not say much different from what he's been saying the past couple of months, it's just that his supporters' follow-up action was more violent now; but there is only a difference of scale with the group that plotted to kill the MI governor. Other arguments for earlier bans could be brought in as well. But more generally, my problem is that one company (or a few, if you include Facebook and its companies) has such an impact/power in the world, or at least in the US. I have no idea what's the solution, but this is an undesirable situation in my opinion.
