The problem is that Trump lies all the time. The implicit problem with banning his accounts is not that he is not allowed to speak out on them, sinc ehe lies anyway, but that this can be abused as a precedent for other, later instances to silence other people as well. That a liar like Trump is not allowed to spread his lies that easily anymore - that in itself is not the problem. Its lies. Just the precedent getting abused on other occasions, that is the problem. Trump's lies have led to riots, insurrection, and the death of people. Why should he have the right to continue with that lying so easily...? If somebody has shot innocent people, would he be allowed his firearms collection still? Any sane society would take it away from him. Its called prevention. Its called self defence. Trump is no victim, he is perpetrator.
