Twitter. It's a business, and they can restrict access for any variety of reasons. But their consumers do have a voice.
They are a private entity that functions as a key tool and outlet for public speech and communication.

Sort of like pencil companies prohibiting you from using their pencil to write things their CEO doesn't agree with.

UCF is actually correct on this one. But also note that Trump doesn't have to use Twitter either. He can move to another platform and Twitter would suffer bigly. Tough balancing act for Twitter to shut down what they don't like but not to overstep the point to where they ruin themselves in the process.

Yep, I agree with UCF. Can't believe I just typed that.

You'd probably find that if you got past the knee-jerk BOO-LIBERAL! reaction so many people seem to have here, that would happen more than you'd initially think.
