Actually it's the biggest deal since 1A applies to .. the government

The 1A applies to the government forcing people or companies to restrict their speech. Since Twitter has not alleged they were forced, that means they were asked and complied voluntarily- which means it doesn't matter if the person who asked was an elected official or not, from a 1A perspective.

Ah I see what you meant.

I guess people's argument then would be that the govt (or whatever) indirectly limited Twitter user's speech.
