When HSBC and other banks cancel Trump's accounts they are telling all their customers that their money is not safe.
When Big Tech censors The President, they are telling everyone that its is not safe to invest time, energy or money in building followings on their platforms.
People aren't stupid but they are often lazy or too busy to change.
The Purge is a huge forcing function towards alternative financial and speech platforms.
I agree with them banning Trump on Twitter/ FB if they think he is bad for their platform - because it is their platform. There is the "while under my roof" rules.
This of course highlights that the platforms we have populated are flawed by design to ever be vehicles for free speech or security of economy. This is a good awakening for a larger portion of the masses.
Except that it is illegal for commercial competitors to collude to ban or restrict supply to other commercial competitors (Trump is a commercial competitor in online advertising because he buys ads, as is Parler etc etc).
This is criminal, go to gaol, cartel conduct.
I understand this side of it. I think there are several more cases going up against this too. One of the problems with not owning the infrastructure of the internet, is it being commandeered on the second-layer.
