I'm not sure that anyone concerned with Twitter's policies/content has focused on the retweet-ability of rule violating world leaders. This is a super shallow effort.
Edit: Though the article mentions that violating tweets are totally un-interactive, except that they can be quote retweeted. Still pretty shallow but slightly less than my original comment.
With that said - it's un clear to me what constitutes a rule violating tweet for a world leader. They should come out with some examples of what is and is not a violation, they should also better specify what a world leader is.

- codezero 7y agoThe big problem I see, is this still does nothing to inhibit distribution to followers. In an echo chamber, everyone still sees it. It just protects people who already were going out of their way to not interact with it.
