When the NYT is cheer-leading for the next foreign war, will they get kicked off Twitter to? I sincerely doubt it.
America's newspaper of record has a track record of being wrong during the onset of wars, parroting whatever Washington tells them is true, then eating crow much later and apologizing for. The most recent case was the aid truck fire in Venezuela, which it took them weeks to correct. You've also got WMDs in Iraq that never existed, and their parroting of the Nayirah testimony in 1990, only to admit two years later it was fraudulent.
Companies shouldn't be regulated at all ever except when it comes to letting racists spout hate. Then they should be regulated into requiring that. Plus harassment and other bad behaviours.
Much easier to keep people who emit thoughtcrime off of your platform if they have to keep getting new mobile numbers each time they are banned.
