It can be their rules, but then they should not be able to advertise things like this:
"Free expression is a human right. Everyone has a voice, and the right to use it. On Twitter, you should feel safe expressing your unique point of view with every Tweet – and it’s our job to make that happen."
"Twitter stands for freedom of expression for everyone."
"We do not take sides. We show sides. Every side."
"We treat everyone equally: the same Twitter Rules apply to all."
"we allow strong opinions and controversial views."
- otterley 6y agoI kind of agree with you, but also disagree somewhat. I think these statements are aspirational in that they reflect Twitter's general principles. But when the rubber hits the road, there are practical limits and exceptions that you make to preserve what you perceive as the greater good and to make sure that the potential harms that come with unrestrained freedom don't outweigh the benefits. I don't think Twitter wants their principles to constitute a suicide pact.
