Haha thanks for that.

Although there's nothing stopping him or anyone else running their own email provider.

Which is what is so great about email.

Until Gmail stops accepting mail from his domain.

Which happens to normal people all the time.

Yes that certainly does happen. Which is why I don't use Gmail :)

But your friends do.

If the POTUS is not using Gmail, and I'm not either, at which point does Google get to block that?

You've just made me realize network effects work both ways: If you can't receive any of your GMail friend's mail, you have a problem. If the last of your GMail friends can't receive any of their (in this example, Republican friend circle's) mail, they have a problem.

With huge numbers of people following Trump off of Twitter, FB, et all, expect a huge hit to their stocks.

Twilio's stock took a noticeable bump upwards today.

Twitter lost 10%.
