There are no good options here, just least worse.
It is a fallacy to compare this with China, which is a totalitarian government that controls
everything in your life. China's government has been far more proactive in the opposite direction: banning citizens who question their leadership. It can be an arrestable offense to disaparage or question what government officials are doing.
Banning a person regardless of their status on social media is maybe not democratic but it is far from the comparison to China. No one has silenced Trump or his followers. None of them are in jail for their viewpoints (however many
are for their actual, not perceived crimes) and no one is saying they can't have their own platform, they just can't use Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, or anyone else's platform as their own to spew their hatred. That is no different than letting Trump post on the Hype and say what he wants, flaunting the rules of the site.
Gab is a thing. Parler
was but they were reliant on Amazon so that is their fault when they failed to abide the rules. This forum does not allow an "anything goes" mindset either. You have to stay within the rules to be permitted to post here. Twitter and the rest are no different, even if they took their time enforcing their own rules.
Just because no one wants to do business with them does not mean they are voiceless. It's just no one wants to hear them.
We all have the right not to listen to their vile viewpoints and they can sit and use their little platform to echo chamber all day long. Until someone can point out where it states you
must listen to hate speech, I have no interest in defending theirs.
