A Twitter spokeswoman told a member of the Israeli parliament that censoring the tweets of President Trump is all well and good, but censoring the tweets of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has called for the genocide of the Israeli people, is not.
The Twitter spokesperson argued that Twitter had not flagged Khameini’s tweets as they did Trump’s because “foreign policy saber-rattling on military and economic issues are generally not in violation of our Twitter rules” but flagging Trump’s tweet was fine because it amounted to “violating our policies regarding the glorification of violence” and “could possibly inspire harm.”
