No, the fact that MS can and will be forced to shut down accounts of people Trump dislikes is newsworthy in itself, and warning for everybody to avoid entrusting US companies with your data or money. If they can do it to this guy, they can do it to anyone.
Are you intentionally trying to miss the point? Don’t you think it matters what the law is? Harmful laws are absolutely newsworthy. Your data not being safe in the biggest data platforms in the world is absolutely newsworthy. I don’t understand how you can be so apathetic about that.
That’s not new though. Since 2020 the Biden government was forcing multiple social media sites to censor accounts and posts and to force through an agenda, and the people who are complaining over this were likely the ones who had no issue with that - because it was their “side” doing the censoring. Those of us who did call it out WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING were called conspiracy theorists, told we were spreading “misinformation”, and so on. You didn’t care then, why now?
Your data not being safe in the biggest data platforms in the world is absolutely newsworthy.
What do you mean by “data not being safe”? Losing access to your email? Any “data” that you have in a third party service isn’t “safe”, this isn’t new and it isn’t news.

Because it’s been this way since the start of the internet and it’s not going to change. Companies can ban people. Governments can force companies to ban people. Governments keep passing new laws to enable them to control speech and the narrative online because they know that the mainstream media that they control is going the way of the dodo. Those of us who have been fighting against it for well over a decade at this point are over it because the people crying about it now were the same people calling for it for the last 4 years, asking for the government and social media companies to ban everyone they disagree with. You asked for it, you begged for it, now you’ve got it.

That’s not newsworthy because it’s nothing new or unexpected. “US companies obey US law” isn’t newsworthy.
