=== Donald Trump Facebook ban ===
After [[Facebook]] and [[Twitter]] had banned [[Donald Trump]] from their platforms on February 18, 2021, as a result of the [[2020 United States presidential election]] which led to the [[January 6 United States Capitol attack]], Gates said a permanent ban of Trump "would be a shame" and would be an "extreme measure". He warned that it would cause "polarization" if users with different political views divide up among various social networks, and said: "I don't think banning somebody who actually did get a fair number of votes (in the presidential election) – well less than a majority – {{sic|hide=y|but I don't think having him off<!-- [[Double negative]]; doubt already expressed. -->}} forever would be that good."<ref name="mzyf">{{cite news |last1=Zahn |first1=Max |last2=Serwer |first2=Andy |date=February 18, 2021 |title=Bill Gates: Permanent Facebook ban of Trump would be 'a shame' |url=https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/bill-gates-permanent-facebook-ban-of-trump-would-be-a-shame-185859851.html |publisher=[[Yahoo!
