So I would guess that Twitter is internally torn apart on this. I imagine the rank-and-file for the most part despise Trump but as a business Twitter (and its shareholders) are more than happy to be the Propaganda Wing of the Republican Party. So I imagine an effort to distance themselves from the outright lies of the commander-in-chief was token resistance to this role, probably aimed at mollifying the collective consciences of the employees. But it's doomed and they've fallen into a trap. Here's how this is going to go: There is simply no line in the sand you can draw between objective truth and objective lies. What's more, even if you can, propagated lies exist because people want to believe them and they see any effort to disabuse them of their provably false views (eg vaccines cause autism) as biased actors trying to hide the "truth". Human nature can be ugly at times. The take on Section 230 is actually an interesting one and I imagine that's going all the way to the Supreme Court if the administration pushes on this. Like you can remove objectionable or illegal content from your platform (in fact you're required to by law) and still maintain safe harbor but where does that end? If you're Google you don't want Youtube filled up with a bunch of racist crap. It's bad for your brand. That content may fall under free speech (from a S230 perspective) and if you decide to remove it for the health of the platform and/or the value of your brand, does safe harbor still apply? Whatever the case, this administration needs to lose in the next election. Badly. The attack on societal norms and institutitotions is unprecedented and reprehensible and I so would like Trump, McConnell, Ivanka, Jared, Pompeo, Barr and a whole bunch of others to end up in prison after all this is over. This is what scares me the most: in the Watergate era even Republicans found Nixon's behaviour beyond the pale. I am utterly convinced that if that happened today there'd be a strict party-line vote as the President's party would happily look the other way. Look no further than the administration's so far successful efforts to block Congressional oversight. At no time in history did any administration think it was totally above the law. Make no mistake: that's what they're doing. Worse, no administration so blatantly engaging in obstruction would've continued to have ~40% of the population support it no matter what. Thanks to decades of gerrymandering in state Houses and voter suppression that 40% almost controls the election by itself as higher-population states are essentially disenfranchises in the modern electoral system. For the record, I'm against the popular vote deciding the presidential election but that's a whole other topic. How anyone who can call themselves "Christian" and support this president and his policies is utterly beyond me.
