So I have a question about this. Does free speech apply to platforms like Facebook and Twitter? I would have thought that a website owner has a choice about the content of their website, even if that content is user generated. Surely they could remove any tweet they wanted and not be sued?

Not sure what you mean. Free speech as a concept apples to them as well. Free speech as a law however does not force them to keep content up.
