I can't agree. It's their platform and they can leave up what they like. When someone starts advocating violence, treason, assassination then they can shut down that account. Also in national emergencies (like our current one with right wing extremists) it is also justified. I don't want section 230 undone, it will do far more damage than good.

Who did Sci-Hub advocate for assassination? What violence did they try to incite? What treasonous act did they commit? This conversation is about twitter nuking Sci-Hub. I understand the events you are referring to but you cannot use them as justification for actions like suspending Sci-Hub.

There probably is some Twitter-backed research on sci-hub but that's not the point. They can lawfully ban whoever they want as long as the basis is not race, sex etc.

Sci-Hub Is a PRIVATE Company. They can ban who they like. Period.

Sci-Hub is a company?

Probably meant Twitter. Sci-Hub is not a company.
