I believe that both have TOS that will get you booted out of the platform if you breach them.

This is not a free-speech issue but a de-platforming issue, it's subtle difference that seems to be lost to many people.

TOS written by Twitter and enforced by Twitter exactly the way Twitter decides, including against governments and heads of state? Right, exactly the point of my previous comment.

I think this is a watershed moment because "de-platforming" Trump while he is still President will be seen as a step too far that will have consequences for these platforms. Not least because they are already very much on the radar of governments.
