This is a dangerous stance to take. Accepting 'just a little' political censorship starts you down a very slippery slope.

But who is accepting it? Right now its trending across the internet and are we not having a merry time discussing it? Her tweet is getting more exposure now than it ever would if twitter had simply left her alone? Think pedes, think!

Nobody yet. Right now, it is blowing up in Twitter's face.

The problem starts if/when Twitter is able to maintain the ban because people grow bored of the story.

Can't see it happening because the govs orders are illegal and Candice broke no laws pointing that out. I'm sure there is a team of patriot lawyers on the case right now behind the scenes.

While I agree the coverage might be helpful in the short term, the long game is TBD. How much outrage must be expressed before Twitter reverses a decision that was complete bull-shit in the first place? Will Twitter toss an arbitrary ban at a conservative user and only reverse the decision when it reaches "Candace-Level Backlash"?

November is right around the corner and Twitter has immense power to swing this election. This is not about a single Tweet about Michigan, IMO.
