Twitter’s a private company and they’re free to censor anyone they want.

Currently it's a public company, but for now, they are free to censor anyone. Even now that should be if, and only if, they don't take a single penny of government money.

IMHO, Twitter, Facebook, and others should be treated like a utility company. They may be private, but it's unthinkable to defend a private electric company if they cut off the electricity to someone's house because of their yard sign in support of this politician or that issue.

Agreed! And while nobody is "entitled" to receive some sort of "censorship audit", they ARE free to call for it, ask for it, rally support for it, or otherwise raise a stink about it.

Don't know if there is any government money involved, but that would make it a different ballgame imho.
