Not a fan of that argument. Twitter/Threads/Facebook/Reddit/etc are big enough to be considered a public forum, even if they're being controlled by a private entity rather than a government.
And it is well-established that quasi-public spaces don't enjoy the full protections on private spaces. They do fall under the restrictions on government actions in some ways, including how they're able to restrict free speech.
Big or small, but they have rules and ToS and can limit what you're saying. And it's ok.
