#ISIS in #Afghanistan has claimed responsibility for the #Kabul hotel attack where Chinese nationals were staying, releasing a video featuring the attackers pledging allegiance to the new ISIS leader. https://t.co/JJtbkXYcmp — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s now redirect the Twitter Files: Trump’s account has been reactivated. Will this mean that other world leaders who incited violence and continue to use Twitter are OK to stay on the platform? Will Twitter ban the accounts of the Taliban, the Ayatollah and others? — PolitiTweet.org

People can spin opinions all they want but the fact remains that Trump used a US company to encourage Americans to commit violence against the US center of democracy. That is as worthy of suspension as it can get. (Plus countless disinfo campaigns) — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

So, the argument to be made is why Twitter did not suspend other world leaders, not why Twitter deplatformed Trump in the first place. Again, the priority was shutting down the pipe through which insurrectionists received the green light to attack the Capitol. In the homeland. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

The issue here is why Trump was singled out to be suspended, not whether he should have been or not. The comparisons w/ other leader who used Twitter to incite violence PRECISELY makes the point that what Trump did is on equal footing with them: using Twitter to incite violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

Other world leaders who used Twitter to incite violence should have been suspended. But given that Twitter is a US company and became the medium through which the sitting US president incited an attack on the country’s center of democracy, he was surely a priority to suspend. — PolitiTweet.org

Reading the #TwitterFiles5, it makes me wonder whether the “publishers” of said content are aware of and ok with the incitement to commit violence, the insurrection that killed police officers, and the thousands of times misinformation was spewed. — PolitiTweet.org

#ISIS released a video featuring its fighters from the #Sahel branch — incl #Niger Triangle, #BurkinaFaso & Azaouagh NE #Mali — pledging allegiance to the new leader Abu Al-Hussein Al-Hussayni. The branch has grown in numbers & continues to compete for dominance in AQ’s backyard. https://t.co/Ld0PMTYxij — PolitiTweet.org

This is a disconcerting new tactic, particularly targeting professionals who depend on incoming research requests. The cyber spies are increasingly cognizant of the fact that critical qualitative research - consumed by US organizations - is just as important as sensitive data. — PolitiTweet.org

@alexstubb Strengthening human rights doesn’t necessarily mean it will lead to a liberal democracy. Becoming/being a liberal democracy implies strong human rights foundation & practices. The latter isn’t necessarily true either. A system of gov can be separated from a set of values. — PolitiTweet.org

Believing that Dr. Fauci is harmful and dangerous is a right wing political stance - an extremist & dangerous one. Denying the political relevance says a lot about you and your own tribalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t let anyone convince you that the so-called #TwitterFiles is a bigger story than the #January6thInsurrection or Trump hoarding classified documents. The latter two are actual threats to democracy and national security. — PolitiTweet.org
