During an oral presentation of a research essay on censorship, a student cited Trump getting kicked off Twitter in Jan. 2020. He said "It's suspicious that this happened just as Trump was being removed from power. Like Twitter was censoring his voice as payback for a difference in political opinions."
😬
I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't blurt out, "Um, actually, the reason was he was using Twitter to foment a violent overthrow of the legitimate US gov't.
Sheesh. F for critical thinking.
