Freedom of expression does not mean tolerating outright lies and bigotry and harm on a non-government-owned/controlled platform. So Trump, since you decided to not say his name for some reason, was rightly kicked off the platform after being warned numerous times about his policy violations.

It's funny how people seem to think that such freedoms extend beyond the boundary of government and into the private sector (publicly-traded company or not). They do not. They never have. Twitter can set whatever rules they wish and the chips may fall where they will, despite what @jack may say. You are free to choose a different platform to support.

But don't sit there and think that the "other side" is somehow oppressed because you simply disagree with the policies of Twitter.
