Banning the current President of the United States from social media for supposedly inciting an angry mob is a bad idea.
Trump only has a few days left in office, and this sets a precedent that could come back to bite them very soon.

Soon-to-be President Harris (we all know Joe won't last long) praised those peaceful protests over the summer as the "New Coalition of Conscience" and even helped raise money to bail them out.

In August, Senator Kamala Harris spoke to former comedian Stephen Colbert about the riots that rocked the country throughout the summer. Harris gleefully said that "they're not gonna stop," come the election. "This is a movement, I'm telling you," she said. Colbert noted that media just wasn't covering these riots by the end of August for some reason, and Harris seemed to think this was a problem. Harris nodded, "Right, that's right," she said. "But they're not gonna stop. They're not gonna stop. This is a movement, I'm telling you. They're not gonna stop. And everyone BEWARE, because they're not gonna stop." "They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after election day. And that should be–everyone should take note of that, on both levels. They're not gonna let up," Harris said with pride, "and they should not. And we should not." The August 30 interview came after 30 people were killed in the intensive rioting from May through August, and billions of dollars in property damage was reported.

You're right, it does set a precedent, don't use the Office of the President of the United States to incite insurrection against the lawfully elected government in an attempt to overturn the lawfully accepted results of the election. Just because Trump only has "a few days" left in office means little, the fact that he openly did this without reservation should make people far more worried than private entities exercising their right to refusal of service to those that violate their terms of service.

Also, if you're one of those trying to compare the protesting borne from unjust murders to that of a President inciting a mob because he lost an election, then, well...there's little that can be intellectually discussed with you. Not one person, Democrat, Republican, Independent, whatever...ever condoned the violence that took place, what they condoned was the peaceful 'disobedience' in the name of progress. Of the protests, some 6% of them became exceedingly violent after, investigations found, they were instigated by agitators not affiliated with anyone involved with the protests. And really, if you're going to complain about people looting a business to that of storming one of the official seats of American Democracy with the intent of halting democratic process, then you are even worse off than I thought.

Compare this with the rally prior to the "March" to the Capitol...a sitting President hammering home unfounded claims, outright proven lies, and inflammatory rhetoric to an already incited mob cannot be seen as anything other than seditious.
