Patience? Social media companies loved having Trump on their platforms and have significantly profited from steering people towards whackos spewing garbage and lies. It's just that it has now become politically untenable to keep Trump + Qanon stuff on there. So on the eve of the Democrats holding the legislative and executive branches of the government, those companies made a PR move by banning that stuff in the hopes that they'll escape the fallout from their significant role in fostering the insanity.
