Let's not act surprised here, it was only natural it would come to this, and I expect other countries to follow suit.
If the (still current) president of the world's largest power can be silenced, then just how easily can Jack Dorsey silence a president of a country like let's say Moldavia... I'm not arguing if someone is a bad person or good person, just stating the obvious POV one might get looking at the status quo.
And for the classical comments here on HN about how it is "their platform" and they can choose what they want to, do not forget that the platform needs to play by the government's rule, not the other way...

If the move would come from EU, it would be much more neutral and more protective of civil rights and freedom, which is not what Poland wants here.
