And what social media companies are has been debated for years. In the meantime, there are other platforms for conservative snowflakes to spread their fake news.

there's no debate. if they censor content, they are not a platform and they are liable for what they host. they have just admitted they censored content. it's time for lawyers to sue twitter for everything they've got. they've made a huge mistake.

They’ve been censoring harmful content for years. Tweets that threaten harm to the president for example are censored. Are you saying that they can’t do that?

there are legal requirements they have to follow. threats are one thing, removing political news during an election is something completely different.

Define “news”

threats of violence aren't legal. information regarding corruption involving a presidential candidate and his son is not. you're just trolling now, right?

What if the information was illegally obtained or blatantly false?

like the Russian dossier? that lie still gets tweeted. illegally obtained like Trump's taxes? lying itself is not necessarily a crime. the safe harbor regulations set the rules, not these what-aboutisms.
