I got to the 3rd set of tweets, and none of them were offensive in any way. It was obvious for 2 of the 3 which I was supposed to think was offensive (due to their support for specific political views WRT Israel / Hamas) and my guess was correct, but in neither case was there any actual offensive language. No 'bad words', no slurs, no death threats/saber rattling, nothing. Just reasonably written 'I agree with the X point of view'. Really really bad look on Twitter's part here... Edit - to be clear, in both cases the non-offensive tweet said essentially the same thing with the same language, but took the opposing political view.

The order of the questions is random per user, so not everyone will have the same 3rd set of Tweets. I'm not sure if Twitter's algorithm is detecting a political bias and that detection is an input, or if Twitter marks Tweets as offensive because they have been reported by people who have a political bias, or if it is just random coincidence that one political side seems to get censored more than the other.

  I also encountered a pair of tweets in which neither was offensive in any way, but they differed in their views of Israel vs Hamas. I also got one from a gay porn model in which the presumably-offensive reply said "I want to get fucked like that"; in context, this can't really be considered offensive.
