Tim Pool raised an interesting point on the Joe Rogan interview with Jack Dorsey: as Twitter becomes more powerful and important in shaping political discourse in the United States, banning someone from Twitter could be argued to be a restriction of political speech: https://youtu.be/DZCBRHOg3PQ

Personally, I think the mute and block options are all adults on twitter need if they encounter speech they don't like or makes them uncomfortable.

I think that they should also ban pro-war politicians...
