Whataboutism! Whataboutism!

The fact that a platform didn’t do the right thing before, doesn’t mean it can’t do it now.

What, you came out of the womb with perfect understanding of right from wrong?




I don't think Twitter had any difficulty discerning right from wrong when it came to ISIS, even back in 2016.


Which is why it did the right thing at the request of US intelligence services, and kept them up so they could track and gain info on them.


Revealing a political bias evidenced by selective enforcement is not "whataboutism." It's informing motive.
