Funny how Twitter tolerates blatantly terrorist regimes like Iran while banning those who challenge them.
How do they justify this?

Twitter stating the obvious has no control over information that’s no longer on its servers. Possible Wayback may not not even be aware of the risks it’s creating.
That said, DMs are very much in Twitter’s control and it is not uncommon for highly motivated parties with substantial resources to either insert employees into companies like Twitter or target employees via bribes, blackmail, etc. Google’s first publicly disclosed attack, which among other things targeted activist accounts, very likely was a result of insider helping. Beyond that, if Twitter did not do anything, it is a very real possibility that the activist might be tortured for their passwords; if the accounts don’t exist, are not recoverable, at least for that specific reason, it would be irrelevant.
There are so many situations to account for, but deleting the account/data is this safest minimal viable path.
They tolerate them just like how they tolerate the murderous f*cks who lied about nonexistent Iraqi WMDs and proceeded to murder 1 million Iraqis. They are still on twitter. They have blue checkmarks. They make 6 figures or more. The whole lot of them, an entire administration...
If the US turned into a repressive single-party state that only held sham elections, Twitter would follow it's laws, too, whatever they would be.
There was a particularly farcical argument used by them, which was on the lines of "our policies are better than your law."
They only complied when their employees faced arrest and other legal actions.
I don't get the impression that their senior management are grounded in reality. My popcorn is getting cold waiting for Twitter's muskification.
Twitter really has one rule for some individuals and another rule for many. There is no justification for any of this from the big tech appeasers.

Huh? Twitter has explicitly justified differential treatment for different kinds of users -- particularly in the name of public interest. Their rules and policies site has a page titled, "About public-interest exceptions on Twitter":

> At present, we limit exceptions to one critical type of public-interest content—Tweets from elected and government officials—given the significant public interest in knowing and being able to discuss their actions and statements.
> As a result, in rare instances, we may choose to leave up a Tweet from an elected or government official that would otherwise be taken down.
The Nazi regime is a deadly, cancerous growth and a detriment to this region. It will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed. Then, the shame will fall on those who put their facilities at the service of normalization of relations with this regime.
