The entertainment singer Michael Wendler has launched some strange to confused theses in the past few months - after a Nazi comparison it became too precarious for the TV station RTL.

Wendler, until then also a juror on the show "DSDS", was only shown as a pixelated blob of color in the already wacky episodes, and statements were cut out.

A radical cut that the viewers should definitely notice from RTL's point of view.

US President Donald Trump was also removed.

Not quite out of office yet, but from his favorite platform Twitter.

The storm on the Capitol and Trump's behavior have apparently encouraged Twitter boss Dorsey not to stop with warnings under Trump tweets.

But was that a good idea?

Or shouldn't social media have so much power to mute an incumbent head of state?
