While the folks at Twitter aggressively label or censor tweets posted by conservatives, they were remarkably tolerant toward a tweet by Zhao Lijian, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson for the Chinese Government, that featured a doctored photo of an Australian soldier threatening a young boy with a knife. Rather than labeling this tweet as "misinformation" or censoring it, they tagged it as "potentially sensitive content."
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey defended his moderators, pointing out that "we can't be sure that the event depicted didn't occur. As long as it cannot be proven that it did not occur freedom of speech dictates that it must be allowed. Given the relative economic importance of China to our bottom line, especially when compared to Australia, I see no reason to upset our best customer because one of its nationals freely expressed his opinion."

DOUBLE F’N STANDARD!
Can they prove voter fraud didn’t occur??
Yet they flag Trump!

Most of them even admit that some voter fraud happens, now, but that’s not the new standard. The new standard is whether it is “wide spread”... which is a complete red herring, because the fraud only needed to happen in several places to flip several States.
Most of them know that though. Privately, they are happy it worked. They just need to provide cover. Hence why the censorship is so politically activist.
