It was relatively minor, but it was a lot more relevant to Twitter because it happened in the country where most of their employees and servers are located. What they realized, I think, is that their prior stance of "we'll never ban a world leader" was naive; they hadn't fully thought through the potential negative effects, because the full spectrum of consequences that a government leader's speech can have was outside the personal experience of the policy setters.

- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoWho thinks it's not political? That's why they had a hands-off policy for so long - they knew that any real sanction of a world leader is inherently political, no matter how good your reasons are.
