All evidence to the contrary, this blog says "falsely say that Twitter is censoring conservatives". They've been heavily doing that for years (see Costolo+Obama, Alex Jones, Zerohedge, their notes on Trump's tweets, etc. etc.)
What few know - or care to admit - is that Twitter doesn't restrict their censorship to conservatives.
Twitter heavily censors all kinds of users, including liberals, Mike Trout fans, Target customers, Russian and Iranian dissidents, etc. etc.
In fact, Twitter censors about half the replies to Rouhani and about 40% of the replies to Medvedev (I don't speak Chinese but I'd imagine they heavily censor replies to Chinese leaders too).
See the "more speech" application for reproducible reports showing what Twitter actually does.
