“Should Twitter ban Trump? For as long as Trump has been trolling people on Twitter, his detractors have been trying to get the company to suspend his account. The company is unlikely to do so—nor should it. Trump has clearly flouted Twitter’s rules, but he’s also a public figure whose pronouncements are newsworthy and are of geopolitical significance. Moreover, the optics of banning the president of the United States from the platform at a time when social media companies are reeling from charges of political bias and multiple privacy violations would not be good. Banning Trump from Twitter would only fuel his already unhealthy persecution complex.” Christine Rosen in CommentaryMagazine.com
