His Twitter downfall

... They are now desperate to show that they can, in fact, police their own platforms without the need for stringent legal reforms.

What better way to show you're serious than to act on Mr Trump's misinformation?

What will Mr Trump do next? Well he's already said he's looking into the possibility of building his own platform in the future.

But for now he's consigned to the fringes of the internet. Can Trumpism survive without Big Tech? We're about to find out.

Trump has been good for business.

Now that Trump's popularity is waning and limited in time, they are clearing the decks for the next administration.

And they are hoping like hell Biden & Co will use Twitter etc, as much as Trump did.

Just hard headed business decisions.
