I can't believe so many people (or bots) here are defending the social media oligopoly.
This isn't forcing a mom and pop store to bake a cake, it's giant corporations that are picking and choosing which users and ideologies in the world can be heard.
We don't let ISPs or mobile carriers do this, why let giant social media platforms do it?
These platforms have government officials and even entire administrations solely using them.

what does it matter how big the company is? Rules should be the same for everybody regardless of how big they are.

I don't agree with this at all. You act as if twitter is the only platform that allows people to post their opinions. It's not, it never was, and it never will be. If an oppinion is not on twitter doesn't mean that it 'can't be heard in the world'.
The cynist in me suspects that it's just people who are buthurt that bad orange man was banned, and these people rather bitch, moan and throw tantrums until people adjust to them, rather than get of their lazy ass and create their own platform.
