For better or for worse (personally I think it's for worse, but I am not King of Twitter), Twitter has (formally) adopted a policy of extremely high tolerance to the twitter accounts of public bodies and government officials. Note that Trump lasted until there were legitimate questions over whether he was using it to encourage the violent occupation of a government building, rather than being evicted years ago like anyone normal would have for the sort of things he said on a daily basis.

But is that worse than sending in the tanks? Clearly one of these hits a little too close to home and thats why action was taken.
