    For the record, I don't think that he should have been banned. That is, however, a pertinent analogy.
    For the record I don't think Twitter should unban anyone including Trump, I think we should ban Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Google because they are illegal corporate monopolies with too much power.
    The bake the cake argument is mute when when we are dealing with corporations such as google who has half the planet by the balls through sheer dependency.

    In general, the fact that tech. giants are monopolies spoils the analogy—I agree with that. In this instance, the president has access to other channels, which saves the analogy; he can call a press conference or go on Fox News virtually anytime that he wants.
