hhhmmmm I don't know, it would make the most extreme of them more riled up but not the more "normal" of his supporters. Also, it cuts off his main way of communicating with them, out of sight out of mind and all that

if trump does get his own platform out of this (and if he does you'd think it will become massive) is it really worth censoring/banning him for? its a bad move imo and one that people will remember for years especially if the process keeps being repeated on similar accounts

I'm definitely not one for silencing people generally speaking even those I don't agree with but I think he did cross the line into incitement of violence especially as the POTUS in this instance, both by literally telling his supporters to march on Capitol Hill (where people actually died) and by claiming that a fair democratic election result was fraudulent. It's always been the case where that line is there and not classed as free speech

they had to stop trumps further incitement, We all know it was just going to get worse and worse

Personally, i think it's time for states to prosecute Trump. He incited violence within a state so he has no federal protection from that
