Jesus goddamned Christ, even the President of the United States doesn't realize that a corporation is incapable of violating your First Amendment rights.

That’s not even the issue. If the government said he was lying, that wouldn’t impact his first amendment rights; pointing out a lie is not censorship.
he doesn't mention the first amendment - free speech is about more than american laws.

Saying that what twitter is doing is "stifling free speech" is a matter of opinion, and while you can certainly argue against the statement there's no need for the amendments to the us constitution to come into it.
