People from various walks of life have expressed outrage over Twitter permanently banning President Donald Trump from its platform on Friday.

The social media giant announced its decision in the aftermath of Wednesday’s riot at the Capitol, where people protesting the election results stormed the building, joining Democrats in blaming the president for inciting the rioters.

Even Russia’s leading pro-democracy dissident Alexey Navalny took to twitter to condemn the ban, calling it an “unacceptable act of censorship.”

For many years, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have been used as a base for Putin’s ‘troll factory’ and similar groups from other authoritarian countries,” Navalny wrote on Twitter.

It is likely there is a very specific reason for Big Tech coordinated actions, and they've decided to take the heat for what will turn out to be a temporary shutdown of alternative news sources.

And it ain't because of what happened last Wednesday.

Do you think it will just stop with talking about the election,    it's pretty much going to be any criticism of Harris/Biden will be viewed as seditious.
