In your haste to continue shrieking ORANGE MAN BAD at every opportunity, you have managed to completely and utterly miss the point of what was actually said. In the example of twitter (and technically Parler in as much as it's in turn beholden to other companies to support it), you had people blatantly violating those companies' terms of service and committing crimes which the platforms/companies could have been held liable for. In the example of these stock trading companies, you had people using the service as intended, buying and selling stocks. Even if certain actions like shorting turn out to be legally wrong (they aren't; thank Congress and their Wall street bribers for removing pretty much all logical precautions from stock trading), these companies are going beyond just restricting that to just outright banning trading of certain stocks at all. The two situations are in no way comparable and your slippery slope / "both sides!" garbage is without any merit. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:950017198] in GameStops ...
