It isn’t at all. Twitter’s business model is getting people to join and engage with the network, and to that end they broadcast, moderate, curate, promote, remove, suggest messages based on the content of the messages. If we pass some law that forces it to be a simple message or feed delivery platform, twitter as a business is done.

Twitter running its business the way it wants is normal western freedom. Forcing twitter to broadcast the messages of the leader of the government would be totalitarian control.
