I don't feel confident enough to actually represent any group, but
what you are saying is wrong, it's just that no one wants to listen when "we" say that the grip of megacorps on the internet is too tight and that we need more support for free software and open protocols instead of walled gardens.
We are here, it's just that this is only a part within the things we have been talking about for years, even if it might come as a surprise to the kind of people that probably cheered when things like net neutrality were crippled in the US.
I certainly won't defend far right and conspiracy portals that make a career out of harassing people and that don't know the difference between free speech and "freedom of consequence no matter what I say"/"everyone should be forced to listen to me".
However at the same time Twitter does not deserve any praise for such a decision.
The part we all should agree on (and hopefully do) is that Twitter/Facebook/Google apply their rules pretty much arbitrarily at this point, they might as well remove them because in prominent cases they clearly don't matter.
Majority of discourse on the internet should not be subject to the pure arbitrariness of only a few corporations.
