On a similar vein, the president breaks all the policies of a web service, and the company that runs it does not kick him off due to fear of retribution by the government.

It seems like Twitter's free speech has been limited for the past 4 years, and they've only been able enforce their policies once trump stopped having power

I would agree that such a situation would be a problem, but I don't agree that it applies. Trump violated Twitter's TOS plenty before he was president, and Twitter didn't ban him then, so I don't think they were doing this in fear of retribution.
