How is this any different than filtering out obscenity or hate speech? The content is objectionable and goes against the rules of both social networks. Trump is getting a pass because he holds the highest government office. Plenty of others have been banned for less.

Maybe part of the problem is that Facebook and Twitter are positioning themselves both as social networks and as media outlets.

As a social network, they should protect users from obscenity and hate speech, but as a media outlet they really shouldn't editorialize.

In some sense, at least as I see it, there's a big difference between following a friend or coworker versus following Trump or some celebrity.
