Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Thryleon]

I get the feeling those complaining are doing so mostly out a fear those social media services will treat this as a precident, and they'll get cut off for peddling the same shizen!

Free speech is a right, but as Malcolm Turnbull stated freedom of speech doesn't include "freedom from having responsibility for one's statements", and it's clear some think they can speak and write whatever they like under freedom of speech without having liability or responsibility. That never was and never will be the case, but I bet people like Andrew Bolt scream bloody murder anyway!

Sensible people need to make sure the debate is framed in the correct and viable context!

What happened to Trump is neither a threat to free speech or democracy, it's a threat to despotism!

Im choosing to think of things differently.

The media has gone down social media street.

With Social media showing such a strong hand in banning content, they open themselves to a bit more scrutiny with respect to how they view the public and are viewed by the public.  Could he in theory call them out for defamation with respect to this "incitefulness" if Trump is indeed proven to have been guilty, could the action of banning him have caused a prejudiced Jury?

Does this open many avenues of future lititation and regulation and perhaps a change in how these platforms are perceived??

I dont know those answers, they are broader than Trump, and its only an example of something that might be.
