Explain why social media just can’t review and approve trumps social media posts? (election, elect)

[Berteau]

Any Facebook group allows you to approve posts before allowing. So why can’t these social media MONOPOLIES which need to be broken up, just approve trumps posts before they post instead of banning him outright? Unless they are just being vindictive and political?? I mean he got banned for inciting violence, so if you just don’t allow those posts then problem solved. Why ban all his posts.

If they did that - you would cry censorship.

You have to understand the goal. The goal is to keep him from running in 2024. The goal is to keep him from continuing to expose the corruption in DC, which as it turns out, is rampant on BOTH sides of the aisle.

So what’s your point? People are already crying censorship by banning him outright which is worse.

Brilliant idea. Let a commercial company decided what a nation can read or not read.

TOS violations result in banning of an account on social media platforms.

For instance, if you violated City-Data TOS, your account would eventually be banned.

One either plays by the rules and abides by the company's TOS or they risk being banned.

They could, but why bother? They were all YEARS behind treating him like they would have any other citizen who consistently violated their terms of service. Because they were afraid of incurring his wrath and upset his followers which would negatively impact their bottom line. But thanks to his behavior since he lost the election (fairly...59 judges and the AG say so) has swung that cost/benefit analysis the other way.

First of all, that is not the "goal"....

Trump will be too old to run in 2024.

If he does run, he will lose... (and it won't even be close)

He's been taken down for inciting violence and spreading lies.

Trump lost the election.

He needs to go away quietly like every other past president has done.

Too late for that, isn't it?

I guess the flip side of the coin is - Why can't Donald Trump moderate himself after being warned time and time again?
