That's not how it works, what you are talking about is often called freeze peach.

Until Twitter can fine you or lock you up for saying the wrong thing or exercise prior restraint over all your expression, it's not a free speech issue.

By positioning itself as the Internet's public square, Twitter seeks a monopoly over public discourse. If it is successful, then yes, it can exercise prior restraint over virtually all of your expression.

It can succeed in that endeavor the moment I become unemployable. I'm not making an account there, never will, and I will die on this hill.
