As a society, we should consider if it is acceptable for a company to influence society via the way they moderate their content while being largely unaccountable to citizens.

That's not what's happening though. Society is holding them accountable, especially since Trump took office.

You just don't like that they fact checked and banned Trump. Imagine for a second it was someone like Hillary Clinton that got banned from Twitter for inciting a violent mob to storm the Capital to stop congress from certifying Trump as president. Would you be upset when Twitter banned her? Of course not. That's what makes your argument in bad faith. Step back and look at what you're really saying without Trump in the equation. It's ridiculous.

They didn't even fact check him lol

They banned him because he refused to attend Biden's inauguration. I posted a link to @TwitterSafety earlier where they openly admitted this. Trump did not tell people to go out and be violent, if he did, he deserves the ban.

If we're playing by your rules, should Bernie Sanders be banned from twitter after demonizing Republicans causing some sick fuck to go out and try and execute the minority whip? There's no way anyone should be defending Trump's ban. Twitter is a private company and can do what it pleases, but I'm not going to pretend like this isn't completely bizarre and deranged. It's also what leftists were begging for over the last 4 years.

First it's Trump, then who?
