See, this is why I hate the concept of "equality."
Since such a thing does not exist naturally it must be forced.
I really don't think politicians should be forced to give someone a chance to stuffpost on their personal account.

the application of "equality" was pretty literal, not conceptual. quite literally, all i was saying is that if you ban people from talking to you, they can't talk to you while other people still can. regardless, it was all in the context of an account being used for political engagement, not a personal account used to post selfies and random lifebloggy stuff
