Attack the most stable government in the universe and see what happens.

The only reason the USA is stable is because the people understand and believe that Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger.

Note that Trump's failure to be allowed to speak, is uniting the whole world in a one-world free speech government.

I am glad that at least some of the countries are taking steps to prevent the corporations from deciding who should win the elections. For more than a decade, the cabal of Google, Twitter, Facebook.etc have been trying to suppress the voice from anyone who doesn't belong to the ultra-left. Censorship is not the real issue here. I am concerned with selective censorship. Islamists and radical leftists who provoke violence are allowed to further spread their poison, while harmless posts from the other end of the spectrum gets deleted and the user gets removed from the platform.
When there is no competitive platforms for them then they can choose to do what they want to show their end users but now the internet world is different even if a site is blocking something they will be noticed on other sites. But when government itself want to supress selected things then nothing is going to be changed.

I don't really think governments can and will completely suppress social medias or the internet, specially in democracies like India or USA. It's saddening that the president of the US was suspended on Twitter but it's he who's to blame for this, he wasn't stopping provoking a riot and continued with his voter fraud ideology to attract more attention when he's seeing he will be receiving none when he will leave office. Although I become happy when government takes steps to control the power of social media over people, specially when these companies are not NGOs but are businesses created for "profit" which makes profit by selling billions of user's data which is a stain on privacy! But at the same time, our governments aren't that good either, if they can't suppress a social media or press, they just buy them and then the press becomes their puppet.
If big media suspens a president what they will do to average joe.
Free speech is that free speech, first amendment
Who gave them the right to shut down anyones opinion.
If government does anything or not does not really matter, people will move some other place
Gods law everyone is equal.

I think this is good news. We all should be worrying much more what is being done with our personal information, and who is profiting of it. The TOS are so long for these websites and Apps that most people don't bother reading it. It's good that the politcians finally decided to step up and hold these companies accountable.
