I'm curious how this will work out for tweets by the USA president.
Twitter will easily delete anything the Chinese, French, or German government deems "unacceptable" speech. They've never deleted anything that the USA government has requested (the USA government has never requested anything to be deleted).
What's the difference here? What's the double-standard?
