"Twitter bans 7,000 QAnon accounts, limits 150,000 others as part of broad crackdown" -- https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/twitter-bans-7-000-qanon-accounts-limits-150-000-others-n1234541 https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/twitter-bans-7-000-qa...
But I can see how it would be harder to ban something as diffuse as QAnon misinformation (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon#False_claims_and_beliefs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon#False_claims_and_beliefs - good luck detecting and banning all of that), compared to references to a specific leak.
Regardless, the tweet author should be more careful about accusing Twitter of bias, when Tweets like the following are not just allowed to stand, but come from verified accounts:
