As the world adjusts to a Twitter without @realdonaldtrump, the next big question is: Now what? Major tech platforms, long accused of giving President Donald Trump special treatment not allotted to regular users, have shown him the door in the wake of his incitement of violence by supporters at the US Capitol on January 6. He s gone from Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat even Shopify. But in many ways, booting the president was the easy part. Will companies now hold other world leaders to the same standard? Will they wade further into deciding what is and isn t allowed on their platforms, potentially alienating large swaths of their user base? Will all this lead to further online splintering, pushing those flirting with extreme views to fringe sites and secret chat groups?
