And thus why he will never have violated the ToS. He could openly threaten to murder someone and Twitter would not suspend him. (Though in fairness they rarely suspend anyone else either.)

Twitter suspends or shadowbans quite a few people, at least if what a fair few people online are saying is true. Not sure their logic behind who exactly they suspend though. Conservatives say they get accounts suspended more, liberals say it's them etc.

They mostly suspend minorities who are pissed enough to not politely say "no, thank you" to Trolls & Nazis sending them death threats.

It'd be funny if it weren't so sad.

I'm sure it has happened but it's also funny to see as an observer how both American political sides feel victimized the same way. Basically, both sides blame same things.

I'm not bothered about big Silicon Valley companies, but it can't be easy to satisfy both sides and keep making more money.

They probably suspend a lot of people every single day, but we don’t notice it.

Didn't they suspend Milo for suggesting a female actress was ugly?

They suspended Milo for posting faked Twitter screenshots to organize a racist witch hunt against a female actress.
