I fully understand his reasoning and respect it as a principled action.
Though, viewing it from the company perspective it really isn't that easy to just do those things he is demanding, and doing it could just cause a misstep to even further in the hole. Twitter has taken a stand, but doing so they have invited a lot of scrutiny on them, and escalation to further actions that would just increase the pain, for the company and their community. On one hand you have the demand to widen their actions to cover almost anything on their platform, and if they don't they just appear hypocritical or worse politically motivated, further movement to this would harm their community and make their platform worse. Second the inevitable push back from various actors, like Ted Cruz with the Iran sanctions, and Trump pushing to throw away the Section 230, and who knows what else this all will lead to.
So making it sound like it's just a choice between coffee and frappuccino, instead of potentially throwing your whole company with the platform and it's community to a chaos, isn't a light decision. And making it sound like it is, isn't actually helping neither Twitter nor Facebook.
