Twitter probably wouldn't be. But the company allowing you to access it via their network could. That's the issue here.

I think it will be hilarious if the POTUS found out he has to pay to access Twitter, gets hacked off at the moron who started charging for it and then finds out it was the guy he hired.

The pro-repeal story is that companies like Comcast are "losing" money by customers using their network to access stuff created by third parties (Twitter, Netflix, etc). Which is like saying the electric company is "losing" money by customers using their power grid to toast bread. This is like the power company getting to charge you a fee for using electricity to toast bread, another fee for allowing you to power your air conditioner, another fee for flipping on a light switch, etc.
