FTA: "Jared Kushner reportedly intervened to prevent President Donald Trump from joining free speech social media platforms, according to sources within the Trump administration.

John McEntee, a longtime Trump aide, had encouraged the President to establish a presence on Parler and Gab earlier this week, around the same time that Parler was deplatformed by Amazon oligarch Jeff Bezos for enabling free speech. Kushner reportedly urged the President not to, claiming that the free speech networks were “fringe” and that they weren’t worthy of the President’s brand."

If there is any truth to this, it wasn't to silence the President. Understand the words: "...not worthy of his brand." If this is real, it's just a strategic business move: If Trump is planning his own platform (as he's hinted at) then why give your weight to what would essential be a future competitor? Hold back, build YOUR version/network, THEN put YOUR brand on it. Nothing more than that I assume.
