Twitter permanently bans My Pillow CEO

I expected that they might be sore in the run-up to January 6, when they were afraid of being blamed for the inevitable. But I assumed that after the inauguration, they'd convince themselves that the threat of violence had faded and they could return to the laissez-faire course.

That's the paradox for them: they want click-generating controversy, but they want it to stop short of real-world violence. Most people are keyboard warriors and it won't spill over into physical action very often -- even demonstrations usually only provoke opportunistic vandalism rather than organized violence.

So I'm surprised that they're continuing to take actions, especially ones that will generate a lot of controversy against them.
