I'm not saying Twitter is in the right here, but I'm not convinced by the article that Twitter is meaningfully increasing the danger to the OP. Is a corrupt government really going to avoid kidnapping/torturing someone because they're popular on Twitter?

it becomes far easier for the government to kidnap someone after these allegations are circulated. we have seen this countless times, to pave the path of illegal kidnappings detention and torture, they spread this negative propaganda and fake news first.

I believe their point is that Twitter should delete or flag the accounts that are spreading false information about him (the journalist).

Is your assumption that corrupt governments must be omnipotent, and don't have to make excuses for their behavior in order to maintain support, or at least to prevent riots?
