Twitter could destroy any accounts that belong to or sympathise with organisations like ISIS. Why do they allow those cretins to have a voice?

Presumably because it's easier to track the contacts made between these sorts of organizations and those who sympathize with them.

This is exactly the kind of reaction that makes terrorists attacks dangerous to society.

Obviously ISIS is past the point of laissez-faire tolerance but that isn't the point, ideological censorship should always be a last resort.

Silencing enemy propaganda and recruiting is a bit different than silencing an opposing entity.
