Keri Hilson speaks on President Trump’s ban from Twitter.
Over the weekend, the singer/actress posted a message, defending free speech. Donald Trump permanently got banned from Twitter and Facebook after his campaign of posting information stating the election was stolen by Joe Biden and also encouraged the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6. The unfortunate event was discussed across the globe.
Platforms such as Twitch, Instagram, Snapchat, Shopify, TikTok¸Spotify, Apple App Store, Google, Pinterest and Reddit soon followed the same route followed the lead of Facebook and Twitter.
Keri Hilson decided to let her thoughts be revealed on Instagram story stating, “This may be funny but it is a little dangerous too. Take Trump out of it for a moment… a democracy must include freedom of speech. Imagine other leaders or popular figures not being able to voice their opinion if it opposes the majority of world leaders… our freedom of speech being taken from us slowly but surely (censorship). If the leader of the “free world” can be removed, imagine that same right of civilians. Imagine believing every time you read, ‘false information detected and propaganda, deceptive reports, and flat out lies being the only thing we see,” adding an emoticon of eyes in the end.
Keri Hilson also thought 5G caused COVID, sooooo no one should be taking her seriously about her thoughts on free speech lol https://t.co/69F8c2BXK4

Check out the reactions to her comments on social media below.
She makes somewhat of a valid point but the gag is he violated twitter rules countless times so it’s not necessarily censorship

Keri does make a good point 😬 I don't think she's defending trump either

Definitely have to be careful when we allow censorship or don't allow dissent no matter how uncomfortable it is. Don't kill the messenger. Obviously, most of us aren't fans of Trump but her message is important. Just like what we are doing to her now. Cancel her cuz disagreement.

While @KeriHilson and Republicans are worried about their twitter fingers, the rest of the country is worried about the fact that trump has the means and intentions of starting a 2nd civil war! Your twitter fingers will mean NOTHING if this country is in shambles, Keri Hilson! pic.twitter.com/tRWxwfHjRX

I’m with you. People really don’t understand the precedent that that’s setting.

Trump is just the beginning. They’re going to start censoring anyone who doesn’t align with liberal values. They should of stuck with the fact checking feature. We’ll see, I could be wrong.

Keri Hilson is a complete and utter dumbass. The things that she puts on the interwebs with a full bowl of confidence are truly comical but also worrisome on how she made it this far in life without a special helmet pic.twitter.com/ygbRb0vxTT

Keri Hilson, I cannot keep defending the dumb shit you say. These are private platforms. Any one of us can get kicked off of here. Read the terms and conditions chile…besides, Trump can hold a press conference any time he gets ready. He's not mute. pic.twitter.com/PON5Rj255R

Keri Hilson is right. What happens when twitter is led by a rightwinger in the future, will they censor you? I despise Trump & actually love that he lost his account. But the rational mind says this wrong.
