Twitter benefits from network effects, which makes them immune to an extent from the normal rules of private-sector competition. Telephone carriers have to carry certain speech, your power company can't shut off your power because they don't like your speech, etc… Arguably the major social media platforms are in a similar position.
Twitter also colludes with government officials, as revealed in the previous "Twitter files" installment.
> they suppressed propaganda
I just checked the Twitter Rules [1], the Rules don't forbid "propaganda".
And I just checked the definition of "propaganda" [2], seems like it includes many things that nobody alleges is against the Rules (for example, any political ad, no matter what it advocates, is "propaganda").
