Sounds like this dude expects Twitter to be the World Police? I wouldn't expect Twitter as a company to help me if my right to be a gay man in the UK were being infringed; I'd expect the UK government to help me - and beyond that, in the case of a corrupt government, I'd expect other countries to apply pressure internationally to try to resolve the situation.

But no, I would not expect Twitter to be responsible in the same way I wouldn't blame a brand of honey for my murder if that's what my murderer had had for breakfast. There are two parties in this: this dude and the Pakistani Gov, Twitter is just a communications channel - it could just as easy be WhatsApp or TikTok or Facebook or HN.
