Hmmm. So, the "cancer" has been removed, you say. I wonder what will take the place of that "cancer"? If it’s true that nature abhors a vacuum then something definitely will. My guess is that full blown tyrannical socialism is not too far away from introducing itself to what was once a free country.
It won't be long before those people are proven to be 100% correct. Sure, they can post their complaints today without being censored but that will soon come to an end. Censoring Trump, although very satisfying for you and them now, will not be enough. Rest assured, they will soon be looking to squash all opposing speech and opinions.
I am a history buff and for years I have read at least forty history books a year, sometimes as many as 75 to 80. And all during that time and all through hundreds of books there appears to be one and only one absolute and that is that those with power are never satisfied with the power they have and will always strive for more.* Those at the top of these massive social media platforms will soon be after the little people and none of the little people's complaints will then be tolerated. I wonder what ever happened to, "I disagree with what you say but I'll fight to the death for you to say it"? There was a time when those on the left would have said that as quickly as those on the right.
* September 17, 1787 might be the one time in history when a group of powerful men actually pushed power away from themselves.
