A great illustration of what a greedpig he is. Without the cesspits of Twitter and Facebook, the right-wing populist movement he surfs would be nowhere. But having companies run by feckless and somewhat sympathetic founders who allow him to fart out his lies and BS without consequence just isn’t good enough, and he’s willing to toss the First Amendment out the window to consolidate power.
Don’t get complacent, though. Remember Gessen’s first rule: Believe the autocrat – he means what he says. He (with the help of his more clever cronies) is going to try to follow through on this threat.
