I do not condone misinformation sharing, but I am no fan of all these social media bans (since social media is just an extension of the web, it's all just a way to justify the practice -- the open web content is next).
In particular, I understand the critique and derision aimed at whatever tweets this guy put out there, but I would have liked to see them in their original form straight from his keyboard to decide.
I would have liked to do that, but it appears Twitter is saying that I can't. That upon consumption of the commentary, whatever it was, I would as a drone-bot, immediately adopt the same position and begin the process of re-conveyance ... or something.
This happens because the more social media is discredited, the more value old school media retains. And that's important because that value is deflating at an unbelievable rate.
The collective strategy in my view is to highlight the dangers of low barrier publishing, as is the case with social media, and to accent its unreliability. That it also provides cheap content is just a side benefit.
And this is the party who, before attempting to colonize social media, built their community hall around AM-band radio and call-screening. Moderation techniques are evil, but a guy checkpointing everyone who reaches the host for the conversation party is perfectly fine.

Would have liked to see the tweets

So I guess, thanks Twitter?
Because: Mainstream Media Wants Social Media Dead or Dumb
Excellent that you caught this, I noticed too.

Call Screeners....
