Is the US a country where online communities are allowed to fairly enforce their terms of service on ALL users?
Or is it a country where TOS CANNOT be fairly applied on violators with GOP-approved opinions-thus privileging them above others?
That’s what the Jesse Singal controversy boils down to.

Some animals are more equal than others.
And what was Twitter's viewpoint pre-Elon? Money. They didn't try hard to protect individuals & groups because of money. You had to be a real shit like Trump to get banned.
But this is also a very concerning indicator that the GOP appears to believe that their chosen pundits are entitled to *special privileges* in online communities.
That's how it is in most of the United States in my experience.
The inability to “walk away” online is a big deal & needs an analogue.
The fact that the incoming admin is looking to violate the first early and often means Legal is involved.
There's a board, and investors, which means it could just be a policy debate at that level; dunno.
(While with the other hand attempting to purge institutions of any hint of the left. How many freeze peachers have connections to Turning Point?)
How's MMFA doing these days?
Do you wait for them to break the local TOS, or pre-emptively ban them because they are a known bad-faith actor elsewhere...
Like Glinner and JK. It would be wonderful to see them nuked-on-arrival.
An online platform can decide to exile Jesse Singal but it will then become a target.
