They took down General Flynn\u2019s, all my friends are out there. So many that are in the media, they took down theirs. They took them all. We had all social platforms so they\u2019re not going to be able to get these messages out there, and it\u2019s their livelihood. This is the danger we\u2019re in right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A lawyer for the ACLU condemned social media companies, namely Facebook and Twitter, for the move, saying it\u2019s concerning that these companies wield the unchecked power to remove people from their platforms that have become indispensable for the speech of billions.<\/p>\n<p>Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who\u2019s been an outspoken critic of the President, questioned the move.
