Two notes: 1) I am not Jack Dorsey and Twitter is not my product, so I'm not sure why you said "you". 2) Dr Dre is not the president of the United States and does not have the authority to direct law enforcement and the military... surely you see the difference.

"Do you" in a sentence like this is equivalent to "does one;" it doesn't actually refer to the listener, at least in American English.

People “affiliated” certainly can direct violence.

I think Dr Dre would be censored if he were president.

That’s a good thought experiment. They might. It seems they would under current rules. Maybe can run for mayorship somewhere and see what happens when he tweets.

I think Dr. Dre is a sensible human being who's able to distinguish between art that he made 30 years ago and his current hypothetical circumstance, in which he would presumably act w/ the the dignity, prestige and responsibility of the office.
