> the only thing Twitter censored was threats of violence

There were plenty of calls to violence during last year's summer riots. Twitter didn't censor any of it.

Twitter rarely “censors” anything. There are countless examples of people getting multiple death threats and Twitter just blowing it off. Female journalists are frequently targeted with rape and death threats for posting things which are only moderately controversial and Twitter waves it off “this isn’t a violation of Twitter policy”.

The people who were blocked at all were generally repeat offenders.
