In permanently suspending Trump's account (and his 88.7 Million followers) Twitter has deprived Trump of a major avenue for monetizing the presidency after he leaves office. Those howls of rage you hear coming from the White House are about $$$, not free speech.

This is why USG officials are required to use official accounts, so that they can't use government resources to build followings and then take it with them. Nikki Haley broke State Department's rules on this as UN Ambassador and had to forfeit her account & 1.7M followers.
