But you wont ban Ayhatollah's account even though he frequently advocates the destruction of America. You won't ban extremists calling for the killing of apostates. You won't ban those who were behind the riots in Portland that led to destruction of the means of livelihood of many including those of innocent blacks...but you can ban Donald Trump for reaching out to those who vote him into power and for declaring he wont be attending the inauguration.

Well, it is your time. Enjoy it. For it will last only for a short while. Hitler, Lenin, Mao and other leftists you pander to all had their time and they are gone today. Enjoy Dorsey, enjoy!

Right there is the main purpose of his epistle. The best way to get that across without disturbing people with ADDs is to clutch to a trending news/personality.

Any thing right now that talks about Trump (especially the negativity) sells.

It is very wrong to ban the POTUS from twitter. It is an attempt to silence him and a brazen disregard for the exalted position.

What Twitter did was absolutely wrong! They can't be trusted any more. They've shown how compromised they can be. Some time, some day, they may collaborate with the Nigerian Government and silence us the masses.

Now just imagine that the #endsars protest was silenced? This I would continue to say is a wrong move.

Not at all baba, but the content of the matter is the issue now baba. U know someone's carelessness can lead to another person's downfall or put an innocent person in trouble(I was a witness of the quote).
In as much as the banning of Trump twitter poses danger on humanity in term of our voices could be monitored and rendered voiceless.
Mind u sir, I was trump supporter likewise some other people around, but the truth still remains that trump went to far, even during the black live matters, he never showed concern rather what did u do or say? He said he that he will unleash the military on the street
who decides what's a careless behavior?

Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey has for the first time publicly reacted to the suspension of President Donald Trump's twitter account.

Dorsey, while defending the suspension, conceded that it was done in a manner that undermined public discussion; a divisive and dangerous action that could set an unexpected and inappropriate precedent for free speech, one he has been a long-standing supporter for.

Many have questioned the decision by big tech giants, Twitter and Facebook to suspend President Trump's accounts, including: German President Angela Merkel, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico, renowned neurosurgeon Ben Carson and virulent Putin critic, Alexey Navalny.

The same Jack that lead to destruction of live and properties in Nigeria ?

This is terribly wrong jack, everyone have the right and liberty to say whatever they want to say, you can't suspend someone for speaking his mind, that ain't right.

Not at the expense of public safety. World War 2 started because a mad man used words to demonize a small group and also spur his people to war. So no. You can't just say whatever you want. There are consequences to words and actions. If you think I'm joking, go to your place of work and start saying whether you want and see what happens.

Trump was a big divisive figure on Twitter and across the internet, which is now snowballing into offline siege, that ban was a right call.

Common sense decides what careless behavior is. When you spew rhetoric to galvanize an insurrection, common sense should determine your words were careless.

Maybe he's just realizing now how much of force Mr. Trump was to his business...?


Banning Trump means that he cares about public safety as much as he cares about his business. He will not be able to continue doing his business and managing Twitter if the country is not safe.

I can see many hypocrite Nigerian blaming jack here. This is why a country like Nigerian will never move forward. Trump account has been given several warnings over time due to passing fake information, bullying, threats and inciting violence. His tweets have been removed several times before the ban but you guys thinks he need to be treated differently because he's president. That why the whites keep progressing because they don't care who you are, if you break the rule you will serve the punishment. If the account for just for an ordinary person who is inciting violence and get ban, none of you will complain but you think Trump need preferential treatment for breaking the rule

You made absolutely no point. That they are turning against translated to what twitter did was right?

You didn't get my point, did you? I said, TWITTER CAN SILENCE OUR #ENDSARS protest for whatever reason and absolutely nothing would have been done! They revealed how dangerous they can be as against free speech!

Twitter is a business. You are a consumer. You are not entitled to anything from them. The Nigerian government can also turn off social media any time they want to. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? That's a tricky question. Even when you think of the endsars protest, I don't think it really addressed the underlying issues. Plus a number of people sadly lost their lives.

And speaking of "free speech", stop thinking that it is always a good thing! It can be very dangerous. Take Trump for example, he used his "free speech" to convince his supporters that the elections was rigged, which is obviously a big lie. Now, what are the implications? A lot of his supporters have lost trust in the system. Some of his supporters in Georgia even refused to vote for the Georgia runoffs because of that. And this is just one example. Trump's "free speech" has resulted in people getting death threats to this very day. Is it a good thing?

My point is free speech is great, but it can also be very dangerous when it falls into the wrong hands, so it must be regulated!

BTW, check out the social contract theory. Can you imagine what this world would be like if there were no regulations? I'm pretty sure that people will be committing all sorts of crimes any how. Now, imagine if people could say anything they wanted with no regulations, regardless of the implications of their words. Do you really want to live in a world like that?

It is twitter and Jack that are the hypocrites. Quick to support insurrection in other countries and nip it in the bud in America.

Yes big mistake bt it’s obvious they are afraid of persecution from democrats who can be vile and viscous when they gang up in their numbers. Republicans are more reserved in public discussions than democrats. Trump overshadowed them and offcourse they don’t like that.


very true but the republicans will learn fast under Biden to play the hard ball- the current democrat party is full of radicals and the few extreme right wingers in the republican party are gaining much attention and admiration from the base of the party - this will force the docile establishment wing or moderates within the republican party to step up their game or step down by being primaried- so the signs of the times will not favor big tech in the long run
