True. Not to mention many of us don't want to bank with a capricious CEO who stiffs his employees and vendors.

A forum and a financial hub are inherently incompatible. You can't have a financial hub that bans people for saying bad things.

Agree partially, noting the ‘Trump misinformation’ elephant in the room in your post & those of other CEOs, and a dangerous history of companies turning a blind eye in similar moments. If misinformation creates different views of what’s moral, should we treat both views equally?.
