Twitter banning someone for whatever reason = not a free speech issue.

A country banning Twitter to prevent information they cant control from spreading = a free speech issue.

Boy you must feel silly now that's cleared up, TC.

Countries feel that if Twitter has the power to ban the President of the United States then they have the power to ban the President of any Nation if they decide they don't like that Nations governance. It becomes a national security issue where the foriegn private tech company has more influence within a specific country than the countries own government

It is hypocritical for twitter to pretend they are warriors of free speech when they are a private company that filters what speech can be shown on their platform, yes.

A country that doesn't protect their citizens right to speak freely without punishment has a free speech issue.

Yes if you break the terms of service of a website, you get banned. Why are right wingers acting like this is a sudden attack on free speech? Can you tell customers to go fuck off and expect to have your job the next day?Trump really has done a number on people

The only thing free speech protects is from the government.

Not letting nazis plan terror attacks on a private companies media platform is not the same as a dictator banning that media platform in an effort to suppress information.

Yes, because governments don't have any way of influencing their country other than making a tweet
