Twitter, as an organization, is very censorious. Everyday someone is suspended, shadow-banned, banned outright or has a particular tweet taken down for any of the multitude of sins the gods of Silicon Valley deem beyond the pale. We know these rules are not enforced evenly across the board - lefty accounts are given quite a large amount of wiggle room, whereas right wing or conservative accounts often feel they are only ever 240 characters away from Jack Dorsey's digital hit squad.
This is annoying, but not surprising. Everyone has biases and they are inclined to go easier on people or groups that share them. And given that Twitter is headquartered in one of the wokest parts of the planet, it is easy to tell why a blue-haired feminist tweeting "kill all white men" gets a free pass, whereas posting moderate skepticism about transgenderism can get you removed completely.
However, to the best of my knowledge, pedophilia is not a left-right issue. I thought at least one thing we could all support, from the Proud Boys to Antifa and the TERFs to the trans activists, was that fiddling with children is wrong. In fact, I would go further and suggest that we could all agree - to paraphrase a commonly used lefty slogan doing the rounds these days - "it is not enough to not be a pedo, we must be actively anti-pedo."
Comment: You'd think... But it's always possible that among the "wokest of the woke", this kind of thing is quite prevalent. Conservative perverts tend to be perverted in private, often behind a mask of moral propriety. Liberal perverts tend to congregate and justify their "countercultural" deviance to themselves and their peers. So while pedophilia isn't a left-right issue among the majority of people (those tending to the center), among the far left, it is probably at least a bit more prevalent, because anything goes.
