Facebook recently upheld a ban on former President Donald Trump from its platform, adding to his previous post-presidency ban from Twitter, prompting debate between proponents and critics of the decision. The Onion evaluates the pros and cons of banning Trump from popular social media platforms.
PRO
Sets strong precedent for all future American autocrats.
Prevents spoilers about what he’ll discuss on Hannity.
Leaving social media is great for never shutting the fuck up about how it improves your mental health.
He never followed back anyway.
CON
Anderson Cooper self-righteous enough as it is.
Have to scroll a little longer to find disinformation.
Harder to tell whether or not he likes Biden’s new tax plan.
No way you’re going to remember his birthday now.
