the US is already shutting down "Russian-backed" twitter accounts that tries to "sabotage the government".

Who is to decide what's backed by Russia, eh?

In a democratic country like U.S., they will not jail you for your tweets that try to sabotage the government, besides closing your account.

You can say anything in a democratic country, except when you are forced to shut up.

In US, if you say anything bad about US leaders, maybe you have trouble at the border when you go on holiday. In Russia, you can say anything about US leaders, and nobody will care.
