You are on Twitter's private property. Don't like their rules - leave.
Their is no "freedom of speech" on someone else's property. You don't have a right to use someones property to express you ideas. It's theirs, not yours. Build your own, if you don't like it.

...then it suggests perhaps they should be just as liable as any other publisher for a book or newspaper?

Not when you DID NOT write or edit or solicit the content -- so you cannot be responsible for it... You are NOT a publisher!

Why? Everyone has a right to try to influence elections — and lots try. As long as they don’t commit fraud, why is it an issue? Responsibility is on voters to figure truth out

Agree 100%. However what do you think about law that immunizes “special” property owners (platforms) from liability for defamation, libel, slander, or fraud, etc facilitated by their property. With such a waiver, doesn’t some license exist?

Seems pretty simple. People don’t seem to understand free speech means govt can’t put you in jail for saying something (to put it simply), not a guaranteed platform or audience

In general you are correct , except there is a tiny problem . If that business main function was to facilitate free discussion without carrying liability for what is said( section 230).. and later you change you mind and start pick and choose what is allowed to be said ...

Twitter is what it is because they found a way to make it addictive, not because it's anything revolutionary. It's the communications equivalent of Candy Crush. If it antagonises the US president with its bias & he breaks it & everyone moves on to something else, who cares?

An alternative view is that I am giving Twitter non-exclusive licence to disseminate my privately owned utterance. So long as they disseminate all that I offer them, they are just a public megaphone. If they pick, choose, amend or edit, they are a publisher.
