I don't give a fuck if Twitter ban people for no reason. But what it does is expose their bias, at least assuming they are banning orange people for "inciting riots" but not black people.
Are there black people out there saying "let's start riots?" If there are then I hope twitter blocks them too.
Dunno about publisher status legal mumbo jumbo, but I doubt it. If you think they're applying their rules differently based on their company's political leanings, you might take them to court over it I guess. But since no-one has yet, I suspect either a) they're not doing that; or b) it's their right to do what they want with their platform.
