It is treason because they are adamantly attacking Trump supporters because they are Trump supporters.

I'm pretty sure ChickFila established that corporations have just as much right to free speech as we do. This includes and is not limited to choosing what content they would like to share.

If that's what twitter wants to do, they need to be truthful about it, and perhaps update their mission statement:

  Our mission: To give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.
- https://about.twitter.com/company

Let me be clear: if they want to push a political agenda, then they have (afaik) every right to. But they should not pretend they're some (ahem) Fair and Balanced firehose of everyone's thoughts and ideas.

The owner of a publishing platform exercising freedom of press in a way which disfavor Adams' preferred candidate isn't treason.
