Trump isn't being censored. He can make videos, have press conferences, go on tv, etc etc. A lot of people didn't have TV's back in the day, did anyone cry about them not being able to hear a president address the nation? It's actually never been easier for the president to get his message out and have it easily seen. He could be banned from every social media platform, and that would still be true.
Fact is, people have been banned on twitter for FAR, FAR less than what Trump has done. If I'm not mistaken, just dead naming someone on Twitter results in a ban.
I got temporarily banned for stating that someone making an ignorant statement needed a slap in the head. I certainly didn't get anyone killed by inciting a bunch of lunatics.
As far as Parler getting tossed off the servers, what the hell do they expect when you're planning violence on a public platform. No one would say a peep if this was a foreign "terrorist" group organizing on Instagram, or any other platform. This isn't about people having stupid opinions. This isn't about freedom of speech, it's about people being violent, and ignorant, based on lies. If parler was just people talking about how Biden sucks, or about economic policy they wouldn't be getting banned.
As far as the comparisons to the BLM I don't think many people thought that looting and rioting were good things. Those things suck.
There's a big difference between BLM supporters protesting things that HAVE ACTUALLY HAPPENED for decades, vs these Trumpers trying to overthrow the government over things that DID NOT HAPPEN.
