Twitter is a private company. Unless we nationalize it to protect free speech Twitter can do what they want.

As a republican you should be supportive of that. Private companies being allowed to enforce their own rules on their property, without the government being involved. Isn’t that what conservatives like?

Free speech is a function of nation states intefering (or not) with speech. What Twitter does or doesn‘t do doesn‘t have any bearing on it, since it is a private company, not a nation state.

If a private company can sway the outcome in an election and does so by using censorship to fulfill their own agenda, they have a responsibility to its users exercise free speech.
