In the column, Paul wrote, &#8220;&#8221;Last week&#8217;s massive social media purges\u2014starting with President Trump&#8217;s permanent ban from Twitter and other outlets\u2014was shocking and chilling, particularly to those of us who value free expression and the free exchange of ideas.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul&#8217;s son, Senator Rand Paul, tweeted his own comment on the affair, saying, &#8220;Facebook now considers advocating for liberty to be sedition.
