I doubt Zukerberg or Dorsey are personally hurting.

Twitter, Facebook: $51 Billion Combined Market Value Erased Since Trump Ban

Social media giants Facebook and Twitter have collectively seen $51.2 billion in combined market value wiped out over the last two trading sessions since they banned President Donald Trump from their platforms following the U.S. Capitol breach.

Large tech firms and a number of Democratic political figures have claimed Trump incited violence at the U.S. Capitol last week. The incident disrupted debates in both the House and Senate as lawmakers were forced to shelter in place while police and security attempted to seize back control.

Trump took to Twitter following the outbreak of violence to call on protesters to “go home in peace.” He denounced the violence as a “heinous attack” that “defiled the seat of American democracy” on Jan. 7. It is unclear who instigated the breach of the building.

Last week, Twitter first placed restrictions on a video the president posted, before temporarily suspending his account, an action followed closely by Facebook. Twitter two days later permanently suspended Trump’s account over two Twitter posts it cited as having violated its policies.

A large number of pro-Trump accounts were also deleted by Twitter and Facebook............

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

A conservative tells the Censor, don't do that. Fvck you, we are in charge.

Seems this is a common issue. Ya know, Trump had what 80 million votes so the
guy is popular and social media seems to be about pissing off popular.

Marxists could never see the big picture, just the stuff others have.

Trump cancelled twitter,
Rush Limbaugh cancelled,
And it has been a cascade of cancellations.

Dominoes across a gym floor. They are still falling days later.

Wonder if these geniuses have a business plan anymore, or a pot to piss in?
Couldn't happen to nicer assholes.
Purge your accounts.
