This week began with some belated spasms of corporate responsibility in reaction to the January 6 putsch: Social media platforms purged accounts (most notably, Donald Trump's) in an effort to banish users who stoke violence and foment seditious and racist conspiracy theories (i.e. QAnon). Internet infrastructure providers withdrew services from platforms that have served as hubs for right-wing agitation and plotting. Companies paused campaign donations and sought to distance themselves from members of Congress who have voted to overturn the election and incited political violence.
