The problem is that Twitter doesn't have a philosophical core beyond "PLEASE DON'T HATE US!!!"

It had an opportunity to develop narrowly drawn rules that could have formed the bedrock of digital free-speech norms.

Instead, it engages in selective whack-a-mole-style enforcement, with a strong bias that favors a progressive point-of-view.

This is nothing but a ham-handed patch.
