Twitter continues to allow Russian accounts to push propaganda while many conservatives are banned

BeyondWords Twitter was scolded by journalists across the globe Monday for continuing to allow Russian state accounts to push "disinformation" and "lies" on the platform after a Kremlin account claimed Ukraine has attacked its own nuclear facilities. 

As Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military has shaken the world with its invasion of Ukraine, many Americans – including former President Trump – are blocked from the platform that has repeatedly allowed the Russian government to spread its message. 

Twitter has also censored opponents of critical race theory, users who tweet COVID-related "misinformation," and a variety of other prominent figures, frequently conservative in their politics, for various reasons. This occurs as several Kremlin accounts are allowed to freely share Russian talking points to people across the globe.
