Mike Flynn had taken an "oath" QAnon last year. He and Sidney Powell advised the president on attempts to override the election in the last month. Powell is now being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion.

Major players in the Q universe, both now banned from Twitter.

No one should praise Twitter. Had Trump won they would not have done this. Dems have full control and Twitter is scared of being regulated in a way they don’t like. This was easy. > Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/WGNr7MtVsY

This is not to say that banning Trump is the wrong call. I think there’s a very strong case for it. But that case has very little to do with the platforms’ existing rules or prior statements.

A Twitter employee told NBC News that “leadership took a beating” at a meeting with employees this morning, who pleaded with executives to delete Trump's account.

“A lot of us are so happy, and so proud to work for a company that did the right thing."https://t.co/SMNQuC2tId

Trump’s Twitter account is PERMANENTLY suspended. ? ? ?

One of the primary sources of disinformation harming our democracy has been shut down.

This is VERY good news. Bravo, @Twitter. https://t.co/a2tmgPvO8E

Here's one Twitter employee in the company Slack as the Capitol was being stormed on Wednesday, asking what it would take for President Trump's account to be banned.

"I think 'don’t foment coups' is a fairly bright line to draw,'" the employee said.https://t.co/SMNQuCk56N

As much as I enjoy Trump being silenced, this is not how it should work. Zuckerberg and Dorsey can't be the deciders on free speech, even if they made the right decision.

The decision should be made by legislators - another reason to break up tech.https://t.co/gtR5gp17OP
