1. "Infinitely more"? Are you sure you want to be so irresponsible with your language? Infinity people died? You're starting to go off the deep end here. 25 people died in 2020. [1] And as the commenter you replied to pointed out, they did ban accounts. You are not acknowledging this, and you are in bad faith suggesting that "everyone got a pass on BLM". False.
2. This is not just about deaths, though it is the trigger. Trump did and continues to encourage the overturning of elections in the US. He continues to claim that the current president is illegitimate. The former President is repeatedly telling everyone with the utmost urgency that the entire country has been "stolen," and that "if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore." What do you think his followers will do in response?
We saw what they were willing to do on Jan 6. They didn't attack shops, they hit the seat of government with the explicit intent of stopping the election. We now know there were armed groups waiting to swoop in. Why do you think Twitter is obligated to continue to amplify his rhetoric?
