Twitter permanently suspends Trump's account:
US President Donald Trump has been permanently suspended from Twitter "due to the risk of further incitement of violence", the company says.
Twitter said the decision was made "after close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them".
Mr Trump had earlier been locked out of his account for 12 hours.
Twitter then said that it would ban Mr Trump "permanently" if he breached the platform's rules again.
Reacting to the permanent ban, Trump 2020 campaign adviser Jason Miller tweeted: "Disgusting... if you don't think they're coming for you next, you're wrong."
It comes after Mr Trump tweeted several messages on Wednesday, calling the people who stormed the US Capitol "patriots".
Hundreds of his supporters entered the Capitol building as the US Congress attempted to certify Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election. The ensuing violence led to the deaths of four civilians and a police officer.
The siege took place just hours after Trump addressed supporters and told them: "We will never give up; we will never concede."
[...] On Thursday, Facebook said it had suspended Mr Trump "indefinitely". The popular gaming platform Twitch also placed an indefinite ban on the outgoing president's channel, which he has used for rally broadcasts. So has Snapchat.
Two online Trump memorabilia stores were closed this week by e-commerce company Shopify. On Friday, Reddit banned its "donaldtrump" forum for the president's supporters.
[...] The big question now is, can Trumpism survive without the backing of mainstream media? Or will it simply slip into the shadows of the internet?

...all this has been brewing for a long time.
except now, with the stress caused by the pandemic, and other stuff, things have surfaced.
his mannerism did not help to "pacify", for whatever that would be worth.
now, the "suits" are back in bizniz, and you will hear mature people say mature things.
and things will continue to rot under the surface.
also remember, that people do not reason, they react, mostly while being oblivious to who we are.
and also, stuff do not exist, if nobody needs them.
as example, sweden. irrelevant of what you think, they filled the country with people without having jobs to offer them + them believing that if you are kind and give freely, you are an idiot.
in time, and not much, only a "facist totalitarian" regime will be able to solve the situation.
and also, people do not seem to be able to distinguish between an opinion, an analysis, and a desire.
what i say, i have to say based on my analysis, it is not my opinion or my desire.

...about the free word.
yet again as example we take sweden.
there are _some_ gatherings, _some_ strangely professional "racist" sites, but in everyday life you never meet these characters, and also people tend to commute and work a lot, so there is no time to forge conspiracies.
the only conspirators are the "anti free word" people who want to shut down the imaginary AdolfHiltlerists and antijews.
they do that because it makes them feel important. and it fills up their empty lives.
not because there is a real nazi infestation going on.
and since the nazis and various other culprits do not exist, random opinions about other cultures or countries policies are classified as racism.
random stuff are classified as offensive.
look at twitch, u cant say "blind run" cuz blind people are offended...
many of u seem to think that ur enemy strides around in uniforms, distributing pamphlets about latest gaschamber innovation...
while u are worse then them all...
