> why should we accept Twitter banning people for the "wrong" reasons

I think this confuses "you" with "we".

You shouldn't accept it if you feel it is unfair, and you should express that if you feel the need to, subject to the rules of whatever platform you use to express it.

But "we" (as in the people of the United States), via the powers of government, have no right under the Constitution to compel (or if you prefer, to "not accept") Twitter to allow him to tweet on their platform.

It had been this way with private moderation basically since forever. What makes you think the owners need your acceptance?

You missed a pretty pertinent qualifier here, but that was interesting, thanks for sharing.
