    I take it you agree with the FB decision? I don't.

    Next time you card a poster, if they disagree or I disagree will you rescind the card?

    No you won’t, because they don’t get to decide what rules they adhere to. You do.

    This is no different.

    it would take wilful ignorance to think he wasn't praising or supporting people engaged in violence so ,yes, I do agree with the decision. Do you think Trump should be exempt from Facebook terms and conditions?
    Can you find the actual T&C Trump violated? Specifically the "praising" bit?

    I won't discuss moderation on boards, this is the second time you bring it up.

    You don't have to specifically refer to Boards. Replace Boards with Reddit or any other similar forum and then answer the question.

    Exactly. You probably don't realise that you just contradicted your own argument.

    Because it shows the absolute ridiculousness of your argument and highlights that you don’t actually believe what you’re saying. You’re just upset that Trump got himself banned and now rather than admit it’s his own fault you’re trying to blame Facebook and Twitter.

    Trump’s prison thread would be hilarious.

    replace ridiculousness with hypocrisy and your post would be more correct.

    Thank you.

    So then the question becomes, does the two posts from Trump breach
    We do not allow content that praises any of the above organisations or individuals or any acts committed by them.
    “We love you. You’re very special,” he said in the first post, and “great patriots” and “remember this day forever” in the second.

    I don't think so, others do.

    For now Trump is banned and apparently he's on other social platforms.
    The publicity he is getting from the bans is bigger than he could ever get from posting little strange snippets, often in all caps for some reason.

    Do you seriously believe this? He'll get the obligatory publicity from this Facebook decision and then we'll be right back to hearing about him about 95% less than we did when he was mouthing off on twitter.

    The amount of chatter about Trump, even on boards, is still almost as high as when he was in power.
    People can't get enough of him.

    People want him to be punished for the crimes he has committed. If he was put in jail for life the day he left office (or before), people would stop caring about him.

    Correct .... Mostly because he managed to completely **** up the US in just one term, creating a divide that will last for many more years to come.

    Trump wont go away

    It's largely died off, it's primarily discussion of ongoing criminal cases that relate to him and his press statements and the like get little to no attention. His loss of access to social media platforms has largely diminished his voice. And that's all on him. He broke the rules of multiple platforms including using them to incite and praise the capitol riots and disinformation on democratic elections. People are free to check his blog for updates from him but it's more akin to him becoming an old man who yells at crowds.

    He is reduced to a sad old man, pretending to be a president still, spouting the same tripe, this time in letter format.

    Congressmen visiting him, saying that he is "in good spirits". This is something you'd say about an elderly relative after an operation or a stroke.

    He is a shadow of his former imposing self. It is a sharp decline but a welcome one.

    Justice is coming.

    And when it arrives, he will deserve it all.

    Actually, it becomes relevant if we are discussing the merits of banning users from social media platforms. Not specific to you or anything.

    To wit there have been cases where boards has banned users for activity off site, such as harassing other users of this platform on other platforms.

    Trump incited an insurrection. Neither Boards or Facebook is a democracy and you don't have free speech.
    The amount of chatter about Trump, even on boards, is still almost as high as when he was in power.

    The sheer lack of dozens of headlines about Trump every morning in the past 3 months suggests otherwise.

    The chatter is around him getting his comeuppance, which has been a long time coming, and the subsequent crying from his supporters. Nobody is interested in anything he has to say.

    Speaking of bans - I see that Twitter banned a new account that Team Trump created - DJTrumpDesk , which was just reposting the latest missives from his new Blog , so clearly just an attempt to circumvent the ban.
