Trump was prompinent on twitter and violated their TOS for years. He was banned on Jan. 8th. If Twitter were protecting some political narrative, it wasn't reflected in their ban.
This argument holds zero water. You have Iranian officials openly calling for revolution, Chinese foreign officials spreading literal propaganda, and Saudis calling for actual executions, which I would think also consistently violate their TOS, and yet have seen no similar measures taken against their accounts.
That only demonstrates lax enforcement, not that Twitters mission is pushing politics in lieu of money and active users. Trumps politics haven't changed since he started his right-wing schtick.
It does seem odd that the example of enforcement is a very interpretative reading of a center right view, and the examples of non enforcement are every other direct call to violence.
I find the violating TOS argument for why Trump was banned flawed because the TOS allows for very vague interpretation. For example the tweets that supposedly got him banned said something to the line of “fight for democracy” and that was interpreted as encouraging actual fighting and the illegal activities on January 6th. It also ignores the fact that he said along the lines of “we need to go and march peacefully, don’t cause problems, that’s exactly what they want” and as everything was happening was tweeting that everyone needed to respect police, be peaceful and go home. Good luck even finding the tweets from January 6th because only a couple outlets even reported what they were, only that they violated TOS which is also very suspicious. Edit: typos/grammar.
