If Twitter doesn't want them to make those kinds of jokes on their platform, Twitter is free to tell them they can't make those jokes there. That doesn't stop the Babylon Bee from making those jokes.

And, if Twitter has changed their mind, Twitter is free to tell them that they can now make those jokes on the platform.

This is how the marketplace of ideas works. Twitter is a participant in that marketplace. If you want to say things on their platform, you have to follow their rules.

I certainly never argued that the public should not be allowed to criticize Twitter.

This implies that rules set up by social media sihes are sacred and shôldn't be questioned.

> This implies that rules set up by social media sites are sacred and shouldn't be questioned.

It simply does not imply that.

Key part being the last sentence here:

"We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category. This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals."

Perhaps Twitter does arbitrarily enforce punishment for intentional misgendering. Doesn't change the fact that Babylon Bee shouldn't agree to those terms in the first place if they have no plan on adhering to them.
