Well, so do you censor things like Dr Dre’s 187 because it might be interpreted as inciting violence against (corrupt) police? A public figure of renown among fans.

Media companies have applied censorship or content warnings to rap music and other art forms - voluntarily or otherwise - for decades without a word of protest from those people determined to make the case for the POTUS' immunity to Twitter's rules
Oh right messrs Gore’s old PMRC, thanks mr internet!
Two notes: 1) I am not Jack Dorsey and Twitter is not my product, so I'm not sure why you said "you". 2) Dr Dre is not the president of the United States and does not have the authority to direct law enforcement and the military... surely you see the difference.
"Do you" in a sentence like this is equivalent to "does one;" it doesn't actually refer to the listener, at least in American English.
People “affiliated” certainly can direct violence.
I think Dr Dre would be censored if he were president.

I think you could argue the authority level difference between the president and Dr. Dre means something.
You know, the answer is yes and no. Yes the president has more legal authority and perhaps moral authority, and greater reach, but don’t underestimate the authority of people within their circles. Be it a J Gotti ot Suge Knight.
