I don't think companies should all conform to one policy. But the issue here is that facebook had a policy, then refused to enforce it.[1]

And I expect different companies will hold different standards as to when content meets that line.

That's not to say I think Facebook or Twitter are consistent - they are far, far from consistent, and you are right to desire to hold them accountable to their own policies.

I made a comment the other day that I thought Twitter was selectively enforcing this policy (I lost Karma pointing it out). I didn't want to assume so I tested. I reported 10 people who called for Trump to be killed or had other calls for violence. Here are some examples, they are all still up 5+ days later. https://twitter.com/Zangetsu8ensa/status/1266385289360089088 https://twitter.com/KllrDave/status/1266390506222891011

I don't think there is any ambiguity in those tweets about calling violence.
