> Do you remember why Trump was banned on twitter?

I remember Trump being suppressed for many months on Twitter, his tweets censored, labelled as misinformation, and information damaging to his opponent was suppressed and labelled as 'disinformation'. By now, many of those claims have been proven to be false.

People cheering Trump's ban never ask themselves a question, what if this was a candidate they supported? They somehow magically think that no, they'll never be supporting such a horrible bad person so that the benevolent Twitter overlords would have to suppress. Yeah, that is absolutely impossible. Right. /s

Can you give a single example of a true statement being suppressed?
