They hate it when it isn't exactly what they'd have written themselves.
I don't blame the mods for killing it, and nobody should jump to conclusions or accuse censorship. I think it's perfectly understandable.
1. Those organizations aren't there to "police" the community. Here are Twitter's actual words about what they're meant to do:
"The Twitter Trust and Safety Council provides input on our safety products, policies, and programs."
Notably not listed there: having any direct power over the Twitter community.
2. The reason why Twitter introduced this thing is that they were getting a lot of flack from people and groups who "lean to the left", for allegedly being a cesspool of the sort of abuse that people and groups who "lean to the left" get most upset about, and not doing anything about it.
I don't know whether those accusations were 100% wrong, 100% right, or somewhere in between. But when a company is attacked for doing or allowing something allegedly bad, it's hardly a surprise if the people it gets onside to try to show it's addressing the problem are the sort of people who most disapprove of whatever it was.
