"I don't think banning somebody who actually did get a fair number of votes — well less than a majority — but I don't think having him off forever would be that good," says Gates, referring to Trump, whose Facebook account has more than 35 million followers.

What does it matter how many votes he got? He uses public platforms to inflame his kool-aid drinkers. Do we want a repeat at the Capitol? Bill Gates should know better.
