Twitter hosts Antifa types who use it to recruit and coordinate political violence. Takes about 2 minutes to find an example, so they clearly don't moderate this stuff:

Let's disconnect Twitter from the Internet!

The same people gravely concerned about an infrastructure website being neutral are perfectly fine being on a social media platform that's used for coordinating all kinds of sketchy shit.

"Whataboutism!!!" is the only reply one usually gets when pointing it out.

None of that is recruiting and coordinating political violence. It's hyperbolic and absurd but the only thing any of the posts in there proposed is for people to get armed, trained, and organized. I see posts like this from their political opposition all the time. Neither is organizing or coordinating violence and neither is remotely illegal or threatening.
There are posts about specific events and dates on that Twitter feed. And it's just a quick example I found in 2 minutes, one of countless such accounts.
He’s right you know. Let’s not forget all the evidence of CP reported [0] [1] [2] that Twitter has failed to remove and they seem to have a problem taking it down and hosting it and allowing this CP content to spread is illegal.

No outrage here of course, even when the fact is that it is all true.
