Do not ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity or in this case probably engineering oversight. No affiliation or affection to twitter.
I'll definitely not be flying United or Delta ever again after this incident. Over-selling spaces on a plane is a scummy practice and shokldn't be allowed. When someone needs to cancel they still pocket the change fee or keep tne entire fee if they miss the flight. Seems like borderline fraud.
Wonderful, so Twitter is now a tool for corporate propaganda, Google is providing Censorship-as-a-Service API, Facebook is removing links classified as "Fake News(tm)", Reddit is deleting whatever mods don't agree with etc. Seems like we are going full steam into a dystopian society. I think I should start reading Solzhenitsyn to prepare for what is coming...
He who believes these companies exist as a way for the mass population to voice their opinion and as a way to exercise democracy should rethink what these companies are all about.
Note: I do not necessarily agree with that they do, just pointing out what they are all about.

Can you recommend something by Solzhenitsyn?
I'm pretty skeptical this is true. I don't think this has to do with Twitter censoring left or right wing accounts.
I did not think this was about politics. I am not sure this is true either but I thought twitter was trying to curb abusive tweets lately. Perhaps the tweets towards United were trollish/abusive etc?

Wait wait wait....what's wrong with Delta?

Customers will only tolerate it for so long, think of it as an opportunity.
To be more clear, Twitter's customers are corporations and special interest's groups, not regular non-paying end-users.
