The problem is that twitter doesn't display their feed as "twitter opinion," nor does facebook. When I go to the new york times or a similar publication's works I understand that I'm getting a biased to their POV feed of information.
What Adams is saying here is that, as a pure aggregation platform, twitter should not be biasing against a particular political ideology. Keep in mind he's not saying that its an abridgement of free speech. Just that twitter has a moral duty to be fair in their dealings. You can disagree with that, but, twitter should be more honest about that if that's how they want to do things.
If twitter wants to become a platform for purely unchallenging discussion of only democratic candidates (and some subset of that) they can and should make that fact clear.
