Ask HN: What will happen if Twitter disables Trump’s account?

  • Twitter would have to recognize, an in kind contribution to any candidate running against the President.

    "The value of an in-kind contribution—the usual and normal charge—counts against the contribution limit as a gift of money does. Additionally, like any other contribution, in-kind contributions count against the contributor’s limit for the next election, unless they are otherwise designated."

  • Absolute bedlam in the US. Trump's base would _lose their flippin' minds_.

    Would it go as far as an actual civil war? I'm not sure who the opponent would be. If I were @jack, would I be scared for my life? Yes.

  • They won't. Twitter needs those views.

  • He moves to VK.
