or the fact that nicolas maduro - a man already convicted of crimes against humanity by the UN - still has an account and has gone uncensored. how anyone here defends such blatant hypocrisy is beyond me

I agree with you. Both Donald trump and Khamenei should have been kicked off twitter.
I don't think "convicted of crimes against humanity by the UN" violates Twitter's ToS, and I'm assuming he didn't use Twitter to commit any of the alleged crimes, so this is a pretty bad faith, whataboutism, complete non-sense, etc.. By this logic you could ban both Bush and Obama, too.
How ignorant or evil must someone be to think Bush and Obama are like Nicolás Maduro?
War in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, Drone strike, also irrelevant since those activities also didn't break Twitter's ToS?
Please remind me when Nicolas Maduro led an armed mob into the US Capitol.

We judge threats not only on their intent, but on their success in executing that intent. On that measure, Parler is much more dangerous than Maduro, Putin, or the Ayatollah.

You don't watch non-US news much, do you?
Actually, I do. Does Venezuelan news tell you that Maduro successfully occupied Washington?
I remember when the US tried to overthrow Maduro recently, what do you mean?
evidence?
wow, a completely unsourced conspiracy theory. what a surprise
