<p><pre><code> No. </code></pre> They don&#x27;t have to and they don&#x27;t need to.<p>Like many other Big Tech platforms, Twitter is a private platform and can ban, censor, de-platform who ever they want to for any reason whatsoever and can chose to do business with whoever they want to. They will never change and are on no-one&#x27;s side.<p>On those platforms, there is no. such. thing. as. <i>&#x27;Free speech&#x27;</i>.
