Twitter is a public platform on which users broadcast speech. Denying people that platform is a "free speech" issue.

Saying "Twitter is a private company" does little to meaningfully address this question. (Not to mention it's a right-libertarian cliche)

A private establishment can't arbitrarily banish a patron. Foolish logic.
