I don’t have a Twitter account and have no interest in getting one, but how is a private corporation beholden to users who (to my knowledge) don’t even pay a fee?

You got a point. How is Twitter any different from any other private blog site ( FR included ) that bans people?
It isn’t beholden hence the bans. However, the basis of Twitter is discourse, and rather than promote discourse it has travelled the inevitable libtards road where free speech means their speech only. It’s a terrific medium but now becomes useless like an email list among planned parenthood members only. Sad.
From a public policy point of view because they take advantage of legal protection offered to internet businesses that act as a form of public utility to shield themselves from the liability that they would otherwise have for publishing the material they do.
