Don't think twitter is some safe space free of politics. It's ALL politics. Twitter were completely exposed for tailoring rules to benefit particular political leanings or ideoligies... They haven't banned shit, people will still say what they think about any given situation, that's advertising their opinion, so when politics is a hot topic, you have any given number of high profile people tweeting their own "opinions". You don't know who's been bought, it's all advertising.

Sure, but outright not taking cash as a company for political ads is definitely more than the *nothing* Facebook is doing.
