        If you really want to embrace this "world leaders tweets are important public record, therefore immune to the TOS" policy, represent it in your platform with a "verified world leaders" badge.

        Of course, you're right. That logically follows from "We believe in freedom of expression and in speaking truth to power.”

        He shouldn't be allowed to block people, then.

        He would just mute people then and no one would ever know any different. 🤷 It's a free country, but there are still rules for conduct per their website...just like if you were in a public meeting at your city hall.

        Hey @jack, if it's so important for people to be able to "see and debate" things said by world leaders on Twitter, then why are they allowed to block people? pic.twitter.com/EklaDYSLjx

        I'm guessing that here Jack is referring to *them* (Twitter) not blocking an individual from tweeting within guidelines, but still allows individual accounts to block others per their own wishes. Or am I reading it wrong?

        "not blocking an individual from tweeting within guidelines." <— NO. Jack's statement is about saying that because he's the president, Trump can tweet OUTSIDE those guidelines. This really isn't that hard to comprehend.

        Is there any infraction that would cause the take down of a “world leader’s” account?

        Okay, but if a tweet by one of these "political figures" causes a nuclear war, that's on you.
