“Seen from this angle, the chancellor considers it problematic that the accounts of the U.S. president have now been permanently blocked.”From that German perspective, it should be the government, and not private companies like Facebook and Twitter, who decides what counts as dangerous speech on social platforms. We should rely on a combination of democratic principles, community governance and platform rules to shape behavior.”Jared Schroeder, an expert in social media and the First Amendment at Southern Methodist University, thinks the Trump bans will encourage his base of followers to move towards other social platforms where they can organize and communicate with fewer — if any — restrictions.“It’s likely the bans will fuel the us-against-them narrative – and it’s also likely other forums will get a boost in traffic, as we saw after the 2020 election,” he said.
