It's not only acceptable but actually ethically correct to hold those with more power to higher standards of responsibility.
It's therefore not only acceptable but actually ethically correct to enforce these rules more proactively against the President of the United States than some Russian bot account.
There is no objective "ethically correct" anything.
You'll say one thing is "ethically correct", and someone else will say the exact opposite thing is "ethically correct".
Neither of you is right, and neither of you is wrong.
Given limited resources, you don't think it's undeniably "ethically correct" to direct those resources where they are more effective?
It doesn't matter what I think. My point is that ethics are subjective, not objective.

Ok, but that argument applies to Twitter which itself is a powerful actor.
