I'm sure the President of Brazil can manage to find a way to convey his message other than Twitter. Thus it's not like Bolsonaro was placed under a gag order.

If you want to use a third-party service then you comply with the end user agreement presented by the third party. If you don't agree then that's ok, just get one that you're ok with.

You could make this argument about virtually any censorship.

Censorship is not even remotely comparable to abusing a third-party service to post content that violates it's end user agreement.

You don't agree with the rules? That's ok, just use a service you're ok with.

Do you honestly believe that the President of Brazil lacks the means to brief the citizens of Brazil of his political views and opinions?
