Despots Everywhere Should Lose Social Media Accounts

FT editorial fan boy here... I always enjoy their different take on U.S. issues. In this editorial focused on social media policy, a Latin American political reporter suggests that the precedent set by Twitter and Facebook in "deplatforming" President Trump should be used for much worse political figures who use their Social Media presence to enhance their political power within dictatorial regimes. Maduro, Ayatollah Khomeini and Putin were all highlighted as notable exceptions to Twitter and Facebook's recent selective choices about who - and who not - to censor.
