This problem has been festering for four years: Twitter deliberately carved out exceptions for "world leaders" that, in practice, applied to Trump and Trump alone because they really liked having @realDonaldTrump on their platform, even though he was flagrantly breaking their rules. Trump said things on Twitter that I could not. The best thing I could see going forward would be a legal requirement for online platforms that broadcast content to others to apply their moderation rules even-handedly. This could be effectuated by either banning ToS terms that allow arbitrary and capricious moderation; or by reducing the scope of CDA 230 immunity to prohibit carve-outs for specific individuals, in the same way that DMCA 512 immunity goes away when you start rejecting legally valid counternotices or ignoring repeat infringers (which, BTW, they also did for Trump).
