Twitter vs Trump; Actually, its a victory for libertarianism

With Trump now banned from Twitter for violating terms of service and allegedly advocating what some have called an insurrection, many cite that the site has gone too far. I disagree. Here is why.

Pundits stating that the ‘trump ban’ is the start of some censorship on freedom of speech are quite wrong. He broke the terms of service from day one, incited hate and violence. He was given the privilege of 4 years of grace due to his political position. A true libertarian would recognise this, not whine or draw false equivalencies.
