Just a reminder about how absurd Twitter is

Why not? Russia hasn't technically done anything to the US, EU, or the rest of the world outside of Ukraine and yet most of the world is slapping sanctions on Russia.

What does this have to do with Twitter?

Because people/countries are looking for ways to punish Russia for their actions, even if Russia's actions didn't affect them personally. Twitter, unsurprisingly, isn't going to do shit apparently, even though they have shown they are willing to punish a sitting US president for saying words.

Twitter is objectively neutral. They didn't violate anything on Twitter, they aren't punished by Twitter. Why would they? Trump DID violate Twitter's TOS, and he was removed from it.

Get outta here!

Get outta here!

I mean, yeah. They aren't banning people for shit they do off twitter. They are banning people for shit they post on twitter. That is just fine to me. Don't like it, don't use twitter.

You keep saying Russia didn't violate their TOS, Trump didn't violate their TOS for years until they suddenly made up some bullshit new rules so they could have a reason to boot Trump. Twitter could just as easily make up a new rule saying "If you're part of a government who illegally invaded and occupied another country then we'll ban your accounts."

BOOM! Russia is in violation of Twitter's TOS. But again, which is my entire point, is Twitter is a complete joke and won't do that.

Again get outta here! They ban people for "spreading COVID misinformation" yet when leftists make the exact same claims they are fine. When Bill Gates starts espousing medical information or expertise about COVID or vaccines they don't ban him.

They banned people for posting information that came from "hacked" sources yet they allowed posts to stay that mentioned names of people who donated to the trucker convoy even though the information came from hacked sources.

They banned a US news outlet for daring to report on the Hunter Biden scandal.

To suggest they are neutral is laughable.
