That's a fine objection to his proposal (though perhaps better with examples of information protected by the 1st that you want Twitter to ban).

But I don't think it's a fair criticism of his article. I clearly understood from his writing that the "Incitement" exception only covers information intended to cause violence in the near future.

I don't know if he's familiar with the precise legal language, but even if he is, it wouldn't be appropriate to use it in this article for laypeople. He's using common English.
