The argument goes that "allowing Donald Trump to "publicly undermine our democratic institutions will erode the public trust and could lead to violence."

But I would argue that empowering billionaires to hold a monopoly on "the truth" is far more dangerous to democracy than anything Trump could ever say.

To people inclined to disagree, I leave these five questions. Answer them, if you can:

Who made the decision to censor the elected President of the United States? Who granted them this power? Whose interests do they serve? To whom are they accountable? In the future, who gets to decide "the truth"?
