I assume the argument is that it's OK to de-platform him but there should be rules in place beyond twitter or facebook or whoever just making the decision themselves.
Why? They're not state owned and Twitter isn't a right like water, shelter, food or electricity. He's clearly been telling lies and fomenting insurrection/violence. If you or I did the latter we'd have been visited by the police, not just had our accounts locked. As @greenhell says, it's years overdue and FB/Twitter are only doing it now as Bidens team have already said they're going to regulate internet "publishers" (which is going to be a problem for all kinds of companies involved in the sector, not just "big tech").

Well I guess in part because governments prefer to control that kind of thing themselves but also because they're arguably so large and monopolistic that threats to de-platform could be used to influence policy. De-platforming a president that is calling for higher tax or better employee rights for instance.
