The social media giant we all know and love from episodes such as “The One Where Russia Decided the Election” and “The One Where Your Small-Town Mom Became an Anti-Vaxxer” returned this morning with an Oversight Board special, wherein the future of Trump’s social media fate was supposed to be decided. Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows declared it a “sad day for America” and a “sad day for Facebook” on Fox News, while making vague allusions about how Zuckerberg’s baby will suffer consequences. Whether or not Trump and his cronies belong on social media has become a nice little conversation about Big Tech and Cancel Culture for Republicans and other so-called free speech advocates. Donald-loving Florida governor Ron DeSantis is currently pushing through a bill in his home state that would “ban de-platforming” from companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube; in other words, it seems to mean substantive fines for whenever someone DeSantis thinks is important enough gets booted off or suspended.
