Their policy didn’t stop them from allowing millions of tweets related to unverified Trump taxes, debunked pee dossier and other Democratic talking points. This is straight up election interference.

How is a domestic firm exercising it's Constitutionally-protected free press rights “interference”?

Twitter and Facebook are not just any domestic firms, they do control a major part of social media. They may not have a legal responsibility to hold every post to the same standards, but if they enforce their policies selectively on political grounds, that should surely raise some eyebrows.
Anyway, if Twitter/Facebook ever had the intention to stop dissemination of that NY Post article, it surely backfired.
