It was pretty clear that he was purged from all the media platforms because the people who run the platforms do not like him. The events at the Capitol were just a smoke screen. The removal of Gab from all platforms was also a major red flag, but most people here didn't seem to mind the oligarchy as long as it's their guys who are in charge.

Have you ever worked at a company where there's a strict code of behavior, but the CEO is a rich loud-mouthed douchebag and nobody can shut him up because they'd get fired?
I have. Kind of unfair, isn't it?
Unfair would be having a well documented code of conduct on a platform who's terms apply for everybody except the rich, and the rich are allowed to say whatever they want on this platform.
Twitter, Facebook and others have neither legal nor moral obligation to host Trump, or anybody else.

I completely agree with this. So let's strip them of their section 230 rights[0] and let them have full control of their platform, instead of their bad faith application of censorship to political ideologies they disagree with. Why, for example, did Twitter and Facebook ban The Wall Street Journal's reporting on Hunter Biden's emails? Or why do they consistently block and remove Project Veritas reporting? This is compared to the dubious Steele dossier which is freely discussed.
Somehow the policies of these companies end up hurting right-wing/conservative media outlets more than left-wing media outlets.
