The steelman is that they still allow the Taliban on Twitter but not Trump. The literal Taliban. The one that throws gays off buildings and stones women for allowing themselves to get raped. The one that thinks that, if the Holocaust didn’t happen, then it should have. The one that celebrates 9/11 as a national holiday. There is no logical rationale for which you can claim that Trump is worse than the Taliban unless you hate Trump and want him gone.

The actual steelman is simple - if you’re going to have a platform, then you should only be able to boot people off for legal reasons. Picking and choosing winners in any other fashion is too prone to human bias. The argument that some are too stupid to recognize misinformation from the truth is exactly the argument used by totalitarian regimes in the past.
