John Cooper, the frontman and bassist for the Grammy-nominated rock band SKILLET, has criticized Twitter for permanently suspending President Donald Trump's account.

Earlier this week, the controversial social media platform crossed a line too far. It suspended the United States president's personal account, @realDonaldTrump, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence." Millions considered that action as an attack on freedom of speech and one of the greatest censures to be remembered in the world's history.

Earlier yesterday (Saturday, January 9), Cooper uploaded the latest episode of his "Cooper Stuff" podcast in which he suggested that Twitter's decision to restrict Trump from broadcasting his message directly to his millions of followers was a form of censorship and that it amounts to an attack on freedom of speech.

If Twitter has the power to censor the president, what does that mean? I think that's what people are freaking out about.

"To me, that's not the freakiest thing. The freakiest thing to me is all the subsequent things. I'm, like, wait a minute — what does this mean?

Twitter and Facebook have lost tens of thousands of followers every day past this week.

JOHN COOPER de SKILLET critica Twitter: 'LA LIBERTAD DE EXPRESIÓN SE HA IDO' por censurar a DONALD TRUMP

John Cooper, el líder y bajista de la banda de rock nominada al Grammy SKILLET, ha criticado a Twitter por suspender permanentemente la cuenta del presidente Donald Trump.

A principios de esta semana, la controvertida plataforma de redes sociales cruzó demasiado la línea. Suspendió la cuenta personal del presidente de Estados Unidos, @realDonaldTrump, citando "el riesgo de una mayor incitación a la violencia". Millones consideraron esa acción como un ataque a la libertad de expresión y una de las mayores censuras que se recuerdan en la historia del mundo.

Más temprano ayer (sábado 9 de enero), Cooper subió el último episodio de su podcast "Cooper Stuff" en el que sugirió que la decisión de Twitter de restringir que Trump transmita su mensaje directamente a sus millones de seguidores fue una forma de censura y que asciende a un ataque a la libertad de expresión.

Si Twitter tiene el poder de censurar al presidente, ¿qué significa eso? Creo que eso es por lo que la gente se está volviendo loca.

"Para mí, eso no es lo más extraño. Lo más extraño para mí son todas las cosas posteriores. Estoy, como, espera un minuto, ¿qué significa esto?

Twitter y Facebook han perdido decenas de miles de seguidores todos los días a partir de esta semana.

Su libro -Alive and Awake to Truth- esta disponible:AQUI
