Having to leave the country and return home is not the same as slavery.

No, but both are examples of situations where you are forced to do something.
There are a lot of laws in the US that force me to do something. Twitter cannot force me to do anything. The only thing any of my employers could force me to do was leave the premises if they didn't want me anymore.

As for Visa issues, your complaint should be with the US government, not Twitter.

I'm inclined to agree with that definition.

But where on earth does deportation not constitute force?

I agree with deportation being force.

Consider if you employ a person to mow your lawn. If you no longer want his services, you can force him to leave your property.

If you're a guest in a country, any country, and do not comply with the terms of your visa, they'll deport you.

Twitter cannot deport anyone. Your beef is not with Twitter.

Consider a situation where I want to invite someone to visit me on my property, but some government also claims jurisdiction over my property and decides that person is not allowed to visit my property. Whose property is it again?
