    Quote ...

    Donald Trump has been suspended from Twitter and Facebook after tweeting to supporters who attacked the US Capitol.

    In a social media message to protesters he said "I love you" before telling them to go home. He also repeated false claims about election fraud.

    Twitter said it required the removal of three tweets for "severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy".

    The company said the president's account would remain locked for good if the tweets were not removed.


    It went on to say that "Future violations of the Twitter Rules... will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account".

    It means Donald Trump's days on Twitter could be numbered. The president is not known for paying much attention to Twitter's community guidelines.

    A step that has been overdue for at least 4 years!
    I know ... there will be people with "Freedom of Speech" as an argument again ... but that's ridiculous!
    Whoever abuses constitutional rights like "Freedom of Speech" and uses those against the constitution, which grants these rights, loses his constitutional rights in the matter! Everything else is bullshit.
    But first of all there are the official user rules and guidelines of the services and whoever, like Donald Trump, thinks that rules are only there to be ignored, then also has to live with the consequences like now - point and "Basta"!

    Hopefully this will result in an uptake of Parler.

    Never heard of them before you mentioned now ... and I guess 8 of 10 people didn't know them before too.

    Anyway ... Should unconstitutional things be possible on this "Perler", or such disgusting things as Trump does, then the platform should be switched off. Once again: Anyone who abuses their constitutional rights to attack the constitution that grants them these rights, has lost his rights... and any platform that enables this should be prohibited as a criminal platform - over and out!

    Once Trump is unable to use major social media platforms, he will lose what sanity he has left. I expect we will see him dragged to Walter Reed for a medical evaluation before this is all said and done.

    Maybe a nice impeachment and 25th Amendment in the next few days will help drive him into the straight jacket faster.

    I was just hearing you need a few weeks for the 25th Amendment so it is not a possibility.

    Indeed. However Trump has posted on the White house account..

    He should be banned from all social media due to posting his lies and conspiracy theories Also for encouraging insurrection. He is rather addicted to Twitter. (not healthy for someone as usable as he is)

    A democracy that allows internal enemies to abuse the constitutional rights to combat and abolish democracy commits suicide! It does not matter which constitutional right it is ... if it is abused by a person or group, it must be punished!
    And that has nothing to do with censorship, because it is about the protection of the constitution and the rights guaranteed in it from internal enemies who abuse precisely these rights to abolish rights!

    Except that none of that is accurate. You can even advocate for the overthrow of government so long as you aren't imminently advocating to do so.

    If you want to change the law as it stands then do so by lawful means. That you don't think restricting the liberties of others will come back on you then you don't understand history.

    You know that I am not American?
    I know that this is not the case in the US with this silly bullcrap behaviour about rights etc. ... and so I knwo again, why our constitution which is btw much formed and inspired by the US after WW2, is far better in handling as yours.

    Rights were never bullcrap and they aren't granted, they are recognized and are inviolable as long as we are willing to defend them.

    Now we need to figure out how to erase Dirty Donald J. Trump from our history forever, all references to him should be erased liked he never existed.He served only himself during his abysmal 4 year term.

    Constitutional or unconstitutional seems to vary with one's political views. "I love you now go home" doesn't sound subversive but then I don't hate Trump so there's that.

    How would the RW react if Biden told BLM protesters to "I love you now go home."

    Never happen. Nobody on the left wanted BLM/ANTIFA to quit and go home.

    Shopify also closed his online stores.
    Reason: merchandise like MAGA hats incite violence.

    Companies should not be forced to do business with parties they don't want to but these are publicly traded companies acting in unison as it happened in the past.
    Maybe the trade union of investors needs a bit regulated because of its substantial powers.

    It never happened, because BLM/Antifa aren't the people of Biden,... unlike the terrorists who attacked the capitol. They are the fascists who fought for Donald.

    I am not American either, I just like my rights and they have the most robust protection for them in the area of free speech.

    I want a constitution and legislation that respects and guarantees my rights ... but I also want a constitution and legislation that can and actually defend itself against internal enemies, which is exactly this constitution, these rights and this legislation want to abolish.
    And that such people place their opinion and above all their deeds, speeches and writings under the protection of these rights and argue that they have the right to Freedom of Speech to do so, although they fight exactly this and other rights and want to end them, is just plain disgusting ... and must be forbidden.

    We Germans may have had exactly the right experience in this regard, the other countries are missing to think and act exactly like me and most of my compatriots. I'm talking about Adolf Hitler and his NSdAP party, who did exactly this abuse and ultimately came to power with it.
    A party and its chairman (Hitler), which at the time announced in its election campaign that it wanted to forbid all other parties, deprive Jews of citizenship and want to abolish democracy if they won the elections, that will never be allowed in our country again ... as well as all other organizations, associations and also individuals will have direct problems here doing this or other things like this.
    In addition to the police and the other law enforcement authorities, we also have a constitutional protection agency who takes care of it. For example, anyone who publicly denies the Holocaust in our country and describes it as a lie, or worse, says that not enough Jews were gassed back then, will be punished quite rightly because that is not and should not be protected with "Freedom of Speech".

    Another important difference between our constitution and most other constitutions is also due to the Nazi era. Article 1 of our constitution reads: "Human dignity is inviolable!" ... and this article, like others, cannot be changed in our constitution. This means that no government and no majorities in parliament and also no Supreme Court can ever change or delete that. This little sentence has a lot of legal impact ..

    There is a solution for that, it's called Article V.

    Even any Article V is not able to change this ... and this is good that nothing and nobody can change this. ;-)

    Granted also for them who want to eleminate these rights? Come on ... you really want to tell for example that it is OK that scum who tells that Freedom of Speech must be terminated have the right to demand this and are protected to tell / demand and act to reacht this, because Freedom of Speech?
