What kind of idiotic crap is this? Twitter is a private company, they can control what is on their site in any way they see fit. Shadow banning, while potentially destructive to the reputation of the company, is in no way illegal.
We have a moron for President.
That said, Trump has gotten a free pass countless times on violating Twitter's TOS so if anyone actually deserves a shadowban...

- Are you saying that Trump threatening the North Korean leadership is a ToS violation?
- Would you say that Obama threatening the Syrian leadership is a ToS violation?
I like Obama a hell of a lot more than Trump but if you're going to ban military leaders (which includes most heads of state) you have to do it consistently to avoid accusations of bias.
"Threatening to nuke someone is a 'violent threat,' no?"
