Agreed. However, the Catholic times is not an open forum like Twitter. Twitter invites people to use their platform to publish their views, then actively suppresses the ones which not only violate their beliefs (which seems a little disingenuous if you’re hosting a public forum), but also at the request of other entities to give political (thus, legal) leverage.

Reprehensible as it is, Twitter's suppression of tweets they didn't like is not a violation of the Constitution.  The First Amendment says, "The government shall make no law..."  Twitter is not the government, so it seems to me that they have a right to publish or not publish what they want.

It was a simple question.
