To start with, I don't think this article is even correct—people have been banned for tweets interpreted as calls for violence against Trump before. At least on a temporary basis. But in general, threats and calls for violence on Twitter are a problem. One that Twitter has been loathe to face for a while. Now they're starting to face it. Maybe they'll take it seriously, and handle it well, and maybe they won't—but when someone starts caring about a thing, saying "well look at these times you used to not care" doesn't really mean much. You're right, they used to not care, but now they're starting to. Let's see where it goes.
