Those "conservatives" say that because Twitter and FB are private companies they can do what they like. While technically true that ignores the fact that in todays world both Twitter and FB are effective monopolies.
We know that FB can tilt elections by selectively notifying people to vote and it's clear that if FB and Twitter deliberately distort their content to convince people that Democrat lies are the truth they can impact how people vote.
At the very least such actions must be viewed as in kind contributions. At the most we need a very simple law; those sites cannot censor any content that is not criminal. That way child porn, calls to terrorism, calls to kill Blacks, etc can be removed but expressing viewpoints that the leftist staff of Twitter and FB don't like would not be acceptable.
No sane and honest persons could call such a law censorship since it serves only to open up conversations.
