Why not? Is Twitter even really a "tech company"? What tech do they even produce? They seem to me to be an advertising company that uses computers and the Internet to serve ads. They just happen to have a social platform they use to get eyes on those ads.
That's all Twitter sells is ads. You can't purchase any other service from them. The only purpose of the social platform is for there to be people to serve ads to. That's not a product, that's a marketing strategy.
So why shouldn't they have a moral responsibility to curb the use of their platform to do societal harm through the dissemination of misinformation? They don't exist to provide an uncensored social platform, they exist to generate profit through advertising. If their practices do harm they should answer for it.
