As opposed to petty things like banning the sitting president of the united states?

  I'm confused, are you talking about banning Trump (after he lost the election)? I'm not saying the decision is right or wrong, but Twitter thought a long time about it. I'm pretty sure the board wanted him banned even earlier, but they waited for the right moment.

    > If he was anyone else he would've been banned a dozen times over. If he was anyone else, Twitter wouldn't have rewritten its rules specifically to retroactively excuse it's history of not enforcing them against him, before yeaes later, after he lost reelection, finally seeing it's interests no longer served by bending over to enable him.

    They didn't ban the taliban leaders accounts when they took over Kabul either. And trust me, they were fully open about who they were.

    >He led an insurrection against the current government and called for violence many times A case which of course not only has twitter been unable to make, but which his opposition party has also been unable to make as well. I would ask you to link me to the places where he is calling for an "insurrection" (and not a protest), but conveniently the account has been removed, making it much more difficult to do.

  Why should a politician get special privileges?
