They keep adding up the reasons to be looked at.
By who?
They're a private company, they can censor whatever the frick they want on their website.
If you don't like it, don't partake of their business. It's a simple concept with extraordinary power but it does require a little effort on your part.

No. They lose their designation as a platform and start to get treated as a publisher if they begin to censor or decide the type of content that gets displayed.
They are required to remain neutral or they'll open a can of worms.

While this is true, I think most of the issue is from how they portray themselves.
Yes, they are private. Yes they can censor.
But MOST of this country does not know that. Most of this country is easily influenced by social media. Especially the youth.
I think most people's issue comes from the direct lying and misleading.
If they made it clear that they were liberally biased and censored conservatives, I don't think you would see this line of complaint very often.
But they are a wolf in sheep's clothing, and they undoubtedly have an affect on today's culture.
Just like the mainstream media before Trump finally removed the veil, and let everyone see the truth.

Blocking or restricting political speech can potentially get them in hot water.
Section 230

As Cruz properly understands, Section 230 encourages Internet platforms to moderate “offensive” speech, but the law was not intended to facilitate political censorship. Online platforms should receive immunity only if they maintain viewpoint neutrality, consistent with traditional legal norms for distributors of information.

It is a sad reality of the situation, but someone will push for it and it has already been proposed in Florida once.
Sadly, that is the endgame people are now pushing for.
Twitter has become the new “public square”.
