US citizens have freedom of speech.
We have documented evidence high level officials of the US government colluded with private entities to unconstitutionally and illegally defeat those rights.
Those US gov employees took government dollars while conspiring illegally to prevent the exercise of guaranteed rights, this makes it fraud.
Jail for everyone involved is the most charitable outcome.

Right to speech doesn't mean write to publish that speech on any platform or outlet. Twitter, like a newspaper, also has freedom of speech to counterbalance your own.

High level officials employed by the US government criminally conspired against the United States to work with a private company and deprive US citizens of their right to freedom of speech for political gain.
Members of the FBI abused their position as law enforcement to collude with a political campaign and censor social media against damning information for their preferred candidate.
This is all fact.
This is not fact.
This is a narrative for people with no domain experience, and a desire to see conspiracies.
Right to free speech doesn’t govern private platforms aka Twitter

When government employees take government money (salary) to coerce and deprive citizens of their government-assured constitutional rights that is fraud.
The employee has committed fraud against the United States of America.

It's not a private platform anymore when it colludes with government.

Bingo. Twitter acted as a quasi-governmental entity. Its former officers are all personally liable.
