Yeah, this is the sum of it.

It’s a pinched view because it seems premised on the notion of Twitter as its own silo, separate from the real world. 1/ But Twitter’s post about its reasons for not banning Trump proceeds from the exact opposite premise — extolling how the platform aims “to serve and advance the global, public conversation” in which “world leaders play a critical role.” blog.twitter.com/official/en_us… 2/

He just can't help himself. 🎶 there are people dying 🎤
