I don't want to derail you too much, but I'd argue that Twitter should just be open about what editorial decisions they've made (they don't have to justify it if they don't want). Then people can decide whether they like it or not. People just need a means of evaluating the implicit bias of the organization as you can do by looking at the content of a newspaper. When things just disappear without the reader having a way of knowing, that's when it becomes a problem, to me anyway. Granted, things just disappearing is a problem with newspapers these days too (at least online).

Banning political commentators for words that are barely offensive while doing nothing about terrorist propaganda is reprehensible
