Twitter is a private company and should be able to decide how it runs it’s business.

Once again, there's the problem. They ARE a private company that seeks, and gets, special protections from the government, because they claim it is a "platform" doing nothing more than providing content; say like the phone company. They then turn around and censor that content based on the political beliefs of the people that work there, just like a "publisher" would do. Publishers are not, and should not be afforded the same government protections against liable and other things as platforms are.

In essence, Twitter, Facebook, et al are creating monopolies on political and cultural speech all with government protection. They are either platforms, or publishers; they can not be both, or the Republic will certainly (continue to) suffer for it.
