After the infamous and catastrophic march-turned-riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 that resulted in five deaths, one famous Twitter account was permanently removed to prevent further spreads of violence and hate.
From Complex:
While social media was celebrating Donald Trump’s Twitter ban, Hilson took to Instagram where she questioned if it was ethical to limit the sitting president’s “freedom of speech.”
Not surprisingly, reaction against Hilson’s opinion were swift as users were quick to condemn her immediately:
They took to social media where they ripped the singer for not taking Trump’s actions into consideration or fully understanding the power the president has to communicate with the country outside of Twitter.
Here is the original Instagram story from Hilson:
Does Keri Hilson know whenever the president wants to communicate with the american people he can LITERALLY call a press conference at his house? This is why more people need to read. pic.twitter.com/Z2jMGlU8xn

Hilson tried to straighten things out in a post on The Shade Room’s Instagram post after getting criticized for what appeared to have been defending Trump.
Meanwhile, Twitter is not the only social media platform that Trump has not been able to use:
As Parler disappears from the Android and Ios app stores and faces being kicked off of Amazon's (and other) clouds, people who worry about monopolized corporate control over speech are divided over What It Means.

Keri Hilson Caped For Donald Trump, Promptly Gathered By Her Bozo Heels
[caption id="attachment_939261" align="alignnone" width="1024"] Source: MediaNews Group/Boston Herald via Getty Images / Getty[/caption] Keri Hilson just doesn’t know when to relax. After Donald Trump was finally banned from Twitter, and multiple other social media platform, the increasingly irrelevant R&B crooner took it upon herself to defend Habanero Hitler in the name of free speech. https://twitter.com/MrBizzel/status/1348069794134765570 It didn’t go very well for her. Before we begin, we must note that Hilson is a conspiracy theorist who has gone on the record as an anti-vaxxer and a believer in 5G towers actually causing COVID-19. So the messenger was already getting the side-eye when she took to social media to say, “This may be funny but it’s a little dangerous too,” alongside a pic of Trump’s suspended forever Twitter account. “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 the world leaders.” First of all, you can’t take Trump out of it, that’s the point. And the cliche rings true, the 1st Amendment doesn’t allow you to yell fire in a crowded theater if there isn’t a fire, for example. Also, there are private companies (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) with rules. Nevertheless, she added, “Our freedom of speech is being taken from us. Slowly but surely (censorship).” The irony here is that Hilson clearly has the freedom to offer up her headass hot takes on the Internets. Those with sense were quick to drag the singer for her latest flub of common sense, and it continues to be glorious. Peep some of the best slander below. https://twitter.com/amandasaintana/status/1348166173788168199 https://twitter.com/TheJessieWoo/status/1348165619951218688
