You could argue the opposite, that Twitter is part of the open internet to some extent: unlike Facebook, it is fairly searchable with normal search engines [1] and unlike Instagram, it doesn't actively discourage linking to other websites. Long time ago, it even used to offer RSS feeds [2]. There are custom clients for it too. Apparently, Jack tried to push for decentralized social media protocols [3]. However, I would certainly agree that it is getting closer to a being yet another brick in the wall.

As for free expression on the open internet, I think it is under active threat. The centralization [4] makes the job of the censors much easier. The calls for internet surveillance and censorship are ubiquitous.

It's an easy thing to say when nothing you want to say is removed or censored. I think the article did a good job at disproving your assertion.
