The Chinese government is allowed to brag & propagandize about how it’s treating Muslim women in its concentration camps on this platform, but the president of the United States isn’t allowed to Tweet. It’s insanity.

If you’re going to censor the democratically elected president of the United States, shouldn’t communist dictatorships at least have to not brag about their concentration camps?
This is the problem, btw, with any entity attempting to implement speech standards. It’s virtually impossible to do on a content neutral basis. But if you’re going to do it, it probably makes the most sense to start with keeping communist dictatorships from spreading lies.
Once you start making editorial decisions about Tweets this also makes you a publisher instead of a platform, which means you would arguably lose safe haven provisions of Section 230. In short: this is a huge & intractable mess you should care about regardless of your politics.
