It's so disgusting to see Big Tech playing politics and saying what is true or not. That shit should not be allowed.
I’m curious because I read the article and couldn’t find the instance of “big tech playing politics” you are talking about.
It's quite challanging to craft a suitable rule that human craftiness can't subvert which would protect the idea of the First Amendment for all time.
Programming is hard. Writing good law is really hard.
Edit: I see there are what I assume to be a couple of examples from his blog. They look very much like individual tweets. This turns it into quite an interesting case, one of a handful of examples I've seen where someone publishes the equivalent of their own twitter stream, on their own site. I used to have a great example, but I can't for the life of me now find it! In the case I've seen previously, the content was syndicated from the site to twitter — obviously, Trump doesn't have that option.
Edit2: It's Tantek Çelik's blog I'm thinking of: https://tantek.com/
All other news channels spent the last 4 years barred from even attending his press conferences so they can’t be on his side.
Finally, he spent his last weeks of his presidency alienating his most hardcore supporters (e.g. the proud boys, parlor). Had he thrown them the smallest of bones then they might still be on his side rather than feeling betrayed as they do today.
Basically all this show is if you aggressively shoot yourself in the foot, don’t be surprised to find you now have no foot.
