The account of the sitting President of the United States of America, the accounts of dozens of Senators of the United States of America, and the accounts of hundreds of pundits who lean conservative or moderate have been banned on facebook/twitter.
Facebook/Twitter are literally the commons. Where regular people communicate with other regular people. The 1st Amendment was designed to protect communications in the Commons. Explain to me how having your right to communicate with the commons, as an elected authority, is not bad?
Put the shoe on the other foot. If Obama had had his right to speak to the people curtailed in the same manner, what would you have said? I know what I'd have said. I voted for obama twice, and I'd have been pretty unhappy. You?
The commons is not Facebook/Twitter. Honestly, I'm saddened you'd think that.
I don't care if anyone gets banned. I hope both platforms and all like them disintegrate. Until social media is heavily reformed, I hope they haemorrhage users and fade into obscurity.

Let's forget Trump for a minute. How did the senators or pundits incite anything? I recall that Trump posted a video telling people to go home, they were in the wrong on twitter, and it was removed and he was suspended, but let's forget him. How did people who had no support of the capitol building occupation whatsoever deserve to have their First Amendment rights stripped away?
You're not arguing from a basis of fact, friend.
Posting on Facebook is not part of your first amendment right
