As I said above, nobody has the right to be amplified, and nobody is prosecuting him for what he’s saying. Donald Trump has a lot of ways to say whatever he wants to say - and is perfectly free to set up his own website that anybody can freely read. -
Thank God no one was killed but there were idiots on the streets from both sides, maybe if we were allowed to carry a weapon there might have been deaths over here, it got very passionate on here, my point wasnt about deaths or law and order but that as you state a mob were happy to try and overturn a democratic vote that should have been accepted by both sides. -

Our 2017 General Election was a close run thing. If the election period had been of normal length there is a good chance that Labour would have won and May would have been out on her ear. But you didn't hear Labour claiming that it was rigged. You're comparing apples with pears. Trump knows full well that he lost the election, and so do those who have supported his false claims. He/they were just determined to hang onto power by any means necessary. -

I know there have been some instances in Bradford of fathers commandeering the whole family's postal ballots to ensure that they all vote for his preference. But that doesn't extrapolate to being 'rigged on a massive scale'. The vast majority of postal votes around the country are just ordinary people voting individually in a perfectly normal manner. There is no evidence of any widespread or significant voter fraud here and none of the main political parties have shown any recent concern about it. So where do you get the idea that it's a big problem? -
You say things had changed your correct the Tories got back in with a far bigger majority although we heard on the likes of Question Time of how the electorate had changed their mind, many posting similar on here they were so out of touch with the real world, they were BOTH as YungNath put it "results of free and fair elections" irrelevant of what the vote was for. -

However, it is very different from saying that the vote which has already taken place was rigged and should therefore be ignored. No one was arguing that the 2016 referendum should simply be discounted or ignored.
If Trump could have produced any credible evidence of voter fraud in specific electoral districts then the remedy would have been to re-run the election in those specific districts. But, firstly, he never provided a shred of evidence of significant voter fraud. And secondly, he was asking entire states to simply ignore the results of ballots and declare him the winner in those states, regardless of the votes cast. And when they wouldn't do that he decided to set a mob on parliament to stop them ratifying his defeat. -
As I posted not accepting the referendum vote was part of a manifesto pledge that the LibDems stood on, at least they made it plain to anyone who was prepared to vote for them that what they would implement it and make it null and void, we've been through this debate many times the remainers lost the referendum but never accepted it, the Republicans lost the American election and wouldn't accept it, no doubt Trump didn't help with some of his comments but they were BOTH democratic decisions taken by the electorate of both countries. -

That said, media of all kinds has been able to provide or remove platforms almost at will throughout history. If a newspaper refuses to report what Trump says, is this as concerning?
Social media has muddied the waters slightly, but there are clearly stated rules set out by these providers that have quite clearly been broken by Trump on many, many occasions. His actions have consequences, and as far as I’m concerned, this is one of them. -
Twitter isn't, they are simply a platform with no editorial responsibility. A point they themselves has argues with success in the past.
I haven't actually looked into this but which specific rules did he break? -

I thought it was that there was a chance he would incite further violence before the Biden was made official on the 20th? -
