They justify it very simply. They follow the laws of the countries they operate in.

If the US turned into a repressive single-party state that only held sham elections, Twitter would follow it's laws, too, whatever they would be.

Actually they try very hard to dodge the laws of the countries they're operating in. In India they've been playing all kinds of games to avoid following the law.

There was a particularly farcical argument used by them, which was on the lines of "our policies are better than your law."

They only complied when their employees faced arrest and other legal actions.

I don't get the impression that their senior management are grounded in reality. My popcorn is getting cold waiting for Twitter's muskification.
