The "right's" issue with them is that they do not apply their terms of service in an equitable, fair or consistent manner. Consequently the argument is that they should lose their special protection as a result. It's not exactly an unfair position considering that the CEO of Twitter flat out admitted the platform is biased against conservatives.
I am not familiar with this being said. Is it that it is biased, or that the rules are disproportionately affecting conservatives? From my understanding, there were actions discussed at Facebook that were shelved because efforts to shut down "fake news" and what not would have disproportionately impacted conservative posters and they didn't want to wade into that. Could be the same from Twitter, though I'm unfamiliar with that.
