Twitter didnt hide Trump's tweets because they disagreed, the hid them because they were unsubstantiated falsehoods, that could have a deleterious effect on peoples faith in the process itself. They would have hidden Biden's too, if he did something along those lines.

How famous does one have to be to get this special treatment? Or is it just for political candidates?

(I'm firmly in the "Their platform, their rules" camp, so I agree that Twitter CAN do this, I'm really just curious as to why people think they SHOULD).

The special treatment is placing the warning instead of banning them. But you have to be important enough that executives think applying the standard policy to you would be a bad idea.
