It took a siege at the US Capitol for social platforms to do the right thing

Restricting speech, even when you do not like the person speaking or what they have to say, is never the right answer. It is a slippery slope and not the basis for a free, independent and informed electorate. Mentally unstable individuals will read between the lines regardless of the speaker or what is being said. The mob mentality to ban speech is not unlike the mob mentality we all witnessed the other day. It is ugly, and upsetting, and wrong.

When social platforms demonstrate they have more power than the President of the United States, something is seriously out of whack.
