Of course people will boycott twitter if the company cannot easily ban content. They will label twitter as a network that promote right wing propaganda and push people to move to other places if they don’t want to be associated with that group.

There's a very obvious fix for this which is to simply acknowledge that social media platforms are operating with too much editorial bias to avoid being considered publishers rather than platforms. This acknowledgement creates an environment where the safest strategy to maintain the legal protections that make social media platforms possible is one of minimal censorship.

This distinction is only meaningful in US law and does not apply in the UK.
