entirely different from censorship or suppression of speech - in fact this is the right not to speech. Free speech implies to right to information.

Same issue with paid reviews, these motivating examples are not much of a challenge to free speech.
> how is refusing service to right-wing users on Twitter censorship?
Because twitter is a platform for speech, buying a Tesla isn't the same. That said, if there weren't a few large corps monopolising social networking (and usually via shady methods) it wouldn't be so much of a free speech issue either - There would be an issue if Teslas was one of a few car manufacturers also.
