As @AliAbunimah reports, it appears Twitter is now doing the same.
Begging tech companies to censor will always backfire

@AliAbunimah The sad irony of this internet censorship is that, usually, power centers that censor do so to augment their power.
By contrast, tech companies never wanted this responsibility. It was foisted upon them by liberals who moronically thought internet censorship would protect them.
