I think the issue that Twitter is running into now and is going to run into is that they're not applying this in any manner that could be deemed consistent. Do a quick search for "kill the" and you'll find endless tweets without the warning.
You could make the case that Twitter only has to enforce this for accounts of importance. Yet there are plenty of officals who have tweets calling for violent jihad, the killing of homosexuals, so on and so on that have been made since the first warning... and that label has still not been applied.
Twitter is editorializing, and I greatly fear they are going to ruin Section 230 for all of us.
