#BANTRUMP: Why Twitter should ban Donald Trump

https://boingboing.net/2017/09/27/ban-trump-from-twitter.html

        "On September 25, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone finally
        addressed the issue in a short tepidly-written piece on
        Medium. You can go read the whole thing in under a minute. But
        here's the interesting and scary as shit part:  "This has long
        been internal policy and we'll soon update our public-facing
        rules to reflect it."  It's almost a throwaway line.  But it
        holds a very important key to Twitter's thinking. In short: we
        will move the goalposts accordingly. Twitter is updating their
        policy to explicitly avoid banning trump. They've done it in
        the past and they'll continue to do so. At the same time they
        will also tell you that Donald Trump is held to the same rules
        as all other users.  After reading Biz' piece on Medium I told
        him it sounded hollow. Actually, to be completely transparent,
        I told him it was "100% bullshit"."
