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.

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 am sure he will be impeached and jailed on, one or other pretext in coming days. If they don't call him mad and silence him, he will expose them more and more after Jan 20th. https://t.co/jJMdWkLMoF via @techcrunch
