Isn’t spreading political disinformation, hate speech, etc. not allowed on Twitter? I think that’s generally a good policy; and they should just treat this kind of speech from political leaders, the rich and powerful, etc. the same way they’d treat it coming from a nobody. The most visible accounts should be the ones subject to the highest level of scrutiny and moderation. Doing it the other way round is bizarre, IMO. We’re living in a time where most people on Earth have an unprecedented ability to broadcast their opinions to the world, effectively free of editorial oversight, and I think a lot of people forget that. Especially given how quickly this change has happened, it’s kind of nuts to see so much hand-wringing over media platforms exercising a bare minimum editorial oversight to prevent incoherent toxic bullshit from dominating the information landscape they host.
