There seems to be another set of rules for users with high follower counts, presumably because Twitter is terrified of the backlash and claims of censorship.
One particularly nasty individual with a blue checkmark has the habit of screenshotting people who disagree with her, and then unleashing her followers on them. It’s almost impossible to critically engage with this individual without risking being destroyed professionally or personally. Twitter’s response seems to be quietly demoting Tweets, but there is definitely a power dynamic at play with people who have high follower counts, and it isn’t in favor of Twitter.
