#3 Depends, g(r)om:

The company is balancing a commitment to free speech against pressure from policymakers who want to see social media companies do more to fight extremism and hate speech.

While the company is suing the US government in an effort to report more granular information about the national-security requests it receives, Twitter last year signed a voluntary pledge in Europe to take action within 24 hours against reports of racist, xenophobic and violent content.

#4 Twitter said it suspended nearly 300,000 accounts globally linked to terrorism.

I wonder what that means? Original authors or total retweets? I would think a game of 'catch and not post' might be in order to maintain surveillance.

#5 By real definition of terrorism or by lefty definitions?

Because Antifa is a terrorist organization but I doubt they have been suspended.

#6 Facebook has roughly 7,500 people who screen for troublesome videos and posts.
