No, not the one we would all like to shut up for a few moments, but Jr, who, like his dad has shared some nonsense about COVID treatments and then the supporters shout 'we're being censored' 'it's political'.
I say bollocks. If I spout shit, offensive shit, dangerous shit, on a privately run platform, funded by private shareholders and revenue coming from advertisers, where I have probably signed some T&Cs telling me what I shouldn't write, and where the platform probably has stipulated that it can do what it likes on its platform then sure, the platform can take down the crap it thinks is crap.
After all, the Daily Mail/Mirror have full editorial control over what they decide can be printed in its pages.
And if Twitter wants to be political, does it not have a right to do so just as much as Fox? Like prominent editors, social media founders the likes of Mark Z probably have a political leaning and despite this, their platforms are much more lenient in what appears than traditional media stations, news outlets and print.
