It was a terribly bad idea for the major tech platforms to go for the Trump ban right now. There’s a highy unstable force out there born specifically from the idea that they’re an oppressed and censored group of people, and this ban action is pouring a tanker of gasoline into an already raging bonfire.

I get why it had to be done; the general public has never had any regard for second-order effects and big tech will hardly risk their market cap. However, the big threat now is that these people will go out with a bang - literally.
