Twitter let Trump spew his garbage right up until the point that it led to an armed insurrection.

So far, Parler and its associates have come a lot closer to dismantling American democracy than Iran ever has. That's why they get taken more seriously.

As Twitter said, it's not just the content, but the context as well. When Iranian soldiers invade the US Capitol, I'm sure they'll face a Twitter ban as well.

The mob in the capital had zero chance of dismantling democracy. khamenei has real power.

The mob nearly succeeded in capturing, kidnapping, or killing democratically-elected members of Congress. Or, as they were chanting, in hanging the vice president. I see no reason not to take them seriously.

The leadership in Iran, in contrast, has not gotten any closer to its goal of destroying Israel since the Revolution.
