Politics about any specific country or group aside, this would be a win for Twitter. Extra engagement from both sides. People who write crazy things return to moderate comments. People that comment write more comments because old comments are hidden. After comments are hidden, someone will probably start their own tweet about how that other tweet is full of garbage. It's just more gasoline for twitter's business model: Drive engagement through flamewars.
