literally just seen a tweet calling companies like this “moral weathervanes” for only acting when the decision has basically been made for them. shopify didn't care about their links to fascists until today, keep that in mind https://twitter.com/...

Worse for Trump than losing his Facebook and Twitter accounts, was when Shopify shut down the account he uses to sell his MAGA hats https://www.nytimes.com/...

“Facebook Bars Trump Through End of His Term” @nytimes. @Twitter @TwitterSafety @jack - we're looking to you to do the same. You have been enabling the president and allowed him to spread falsehoods, conspiracies, and inciting violence. It must stop. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Too little, too late. A private company can choose whose comments it hosts without violating the first amendment. Mark Zuckerberg chose to amplify Trump's lies until 13 days before he leaves office. https://www.nytimes.com/...

1,025 days ago, Facebook banned me for whistleblowing about disinformation on their platform. Today, with only 13 days left in his term, they finally banned Donald Trump. Facebook could have listened. Instead, it took riots and a looted Congress. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Shopify, a Canadian company, permanently banned Trump before Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube and didn't even make a big fuss about it. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...
