Same applies to forums. I’ve lost count how many times someone’s post has been reported because, some didn’t agree with it.

The difference with that would be that Twitter isn't an equal communication platform so the replies to a Tweet does not get the same exposure as the original Tweet. It's why they also clamp down on anti-vaccine and other such statements.
I think Twitter has made a rod for their own backs with this though, it's going to become really hard to judge more contestable claims.
