Twitter now fully censoring screenshots

This is incredibly messed up.
It would seem Twitter is now fully censoring screenshots of people who have made racist remarks. If you tweet a picture of someone who tweeted something racist, or along the lines of praising genocide, Nazi's, etc, the screenshots are deleted.

However there's also instances where it's not just that too as seen in the first tweet below.

at some point we need to be able to distinguish between free speech and the abuse of that right.
