Don't incite violence, keep your social media accounts.

I don't see that as unreasonable at all or a gross misuse of censorship.

This is a circumstantial thing too, as the MAGA crowd was organizing follow up demonstrations, and there's little doubt to me that Trump would've given those people his blessing or empowered them with more poorly worded tweets as well if he kept his account until the end of term.

You're talking potential lives hanging in the balance of acting and not acting swiftly to pull the cord on these people's ability to organize.

Until these platforms start using their restriction powers more liberally for less egregious violations then I have no issues with it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the influence social media has had on society nor our dependence on it and what kind of power that grants them in this day and age. And I think we need to regain a certain level of independence as well as awareness on the dangers of over consumption and the influence that has on younger people especially. They have surpassed being merely useful tools, to being unrealistic outlets by which we now conform our lifestyles.

But as for this particular incident and circumstance, the actions taken were justified and arguably necessary to prevent further incidents.
