I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
To be clear, this blocklist has nothing to do with Twitter as a company. This blocklist was implemented by "Net security expert" Vian Tahir when she was the curator of the Sweden account. The technical aspects of the blocklist in question is kept purposely vague, in the statements made by SI, and it's very likely that Vian Tahir simply used a tool like Block together to create an exportable list to apply to the Sweden account since it matches her private blocklist to 97.7%. You hardly need to be a "net security expert" to click radio buttons.
Twitter has in the past banned users like Milo, after many temporary shutdown attempts. That's a different story since Twitter itself is just a privately owned platform and not a government voice. Twitter is also founded and hosted in the US where laws are vastly different which makes that a whole different can of worms.
Obviously the suncross, an ancient religious symbol, is older than Nazism and obviously, I know this and expect our readers to also know this. Carlsberg used to have this symbol etched into their bottles. I mention the swastikas on the elephants because they're so clearly blacked out in the scene when they should be visible, that it's apparent they've taken care with post and/or lighting to not show them.
They have probably done this because this airs in the UK, and Carlsberg do not want to have to educate people about old symbols, they want to sell beer. You made the Nazi connection when I never did, so clearly, Carlsberg UK made the right call.
It wasn't an uncommon symbol in Northern Europe pre-WWII. The Swastika was the symbol of the Finnish and the Latvian air force, it was on ASEA's logo before 1933 (see attached) and it used to be used in maps as a symbol for power plants. To this day it's used on Japanese maps as a symbol for a temple, although that is changing on the English language maps out as tourists are confused by it.
